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

I was pretty tired from the yurt trip this weekend, so I slept in, then ran a mile with the dog. The run felt okay, no pain or anything. My hamstring held up really well during the weekend of skiing. I felt it a little bit once in a while during the hiking portions, but not during the runs at all. It was much better than at Alta a few weeks ago. I wore my garmin the entire weekend, and we covered just over 15 miles - 4.5 miles on the hike up, 6 miles during hiking and multiple ski runs on Saturday, and then another 4.5 miles on the hike down. Over ten hours recorded on the GPS. Not sure how to count this as cross training, so I'm not going to bother. I plotted it out the gps track on Google Earth, and it looks pretty cool. We had really good powder in the trees, especially for late March, and Saturday was one of my best tree-skiing days ever. The closest feeling to what my body feels like after a full day in the backcountry is after a marathon. It's remarkably close. PM - ran to the gym via River Heights, then did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the bike. Lifted: - 1x15 @ 110 lbs, 1x12 @ 115 lbs adductors
- 2x12 @ 100 lbs abductors
- 1x50 @ 130 lbs hip sled
- 1x40 @ 70 lbs single leg hip sled (right leg only)

AM - ran a mile with the dog. Today's April fools joke was that planet earth tricked me into thinking it's February. 20 degrees out this morning. Fortunately for those racing Striders this weekend, it looks like things will turn around and be beautiful. PM - same run as yesterday. At the gym, I did 20 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes arc trainer, 2x10 4-way hip @ 90 lbs, and 2x20 lunges @ 20 lbs. (Axiom: 71 miles) | | Add Comment |

AM - Ran the dogs around the block, then put on my trail flats and ran some laps on the LHS grass fields. 6 laps total, plus the run there and back. Did a 100m pickup on each of the last 4 laps. Everything felt pretty good. Then I went and got a 90 minute massage. Hopefully that will help fix my next and left hip, which have been bugging me for well over a month now. PM - killer 2-hr nap. People keep telling me I won't be able to do this after kids, but isn't that what doors are for? In any case, I'll enjoy it while I can.
