Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Ran a mile with the dog before church, then ran the Planet Walk plus some barefoot strides in the LHS fields after Easter lunch. It felt good to be able to run barefoot again.

AM - ran a 6-mile loop around the Island neighborhoods with Logan. Usually I don't wear a Garmin during my morning runs, but today I did. Turns out I run 8:30/mile pace in the morning. Bleh. After the run I crawled back into bed for an hour and passed out. Groggy start to the week.

(Elite: 237 miles)

PM - ran the Providence Loop with Jon, Cody (and kids), and Logan. Pace was pretty slow due to banter and a baby stroller. Stopped at the gym on the way back and did 2x14 4-way hip @ 80 lbs and 4x20 lunges @ 15 lbs.

(Triax: 458 miles)

AM - ran with Logan in the dark and rain around the Landfill Loop, plus some with the dog (about 6 miles total). We couldn't quite hold off the 8-minute guy.

(Adrenaline: 122 miles)

PM - ran the Planet Walk with Jon and Cody, then ran to the gym and lifted weights.

  • 2x13 @ 100 lbs abductors
  • 2x12 @ 115 lbs adductors
  • 1x60 @ 130 lbs leg press
  • 1x40 @ 70 lbs single-leg press (each leg)

Ran home.

We still need several more people for our two Wasatch Back Relay teams. We're looking for people that are sub-2:40:00, 1:17:00, 35:00, 17:00 for marathon/half marathon/10K/5K. Our goal is to take 1st and 2nd overall in the relay. Entry fees are comped. Reply to the message board post if you want a spot. Also, if you know someone who fits the criteria and may be interested, send them here. We need teams to be set within a few weeks.

*********************

AM - ran with the dog, then ran to breakfast. 4 miles total, just under 8-minute pace.

(Tangent: 32 miles)

PM - Providence Loop to gym, then back home. 5.5 miles total. I tried a couple brisk miles and hit a 6:08 and 6:16, but my hamstring started bugging me. At the gym I did 2x14 @ 80 lbs on the 4-way hip machine, and 4x20 @ 15 lbs lunges.

(Elite: 242 miles)

Ran a mile with the dog. I leave later this afternoon for my yurt trip. Three days in the mountains on skis should take my mind off of running.
