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 got up early before church this morning and did a nice, easy post-race shakeout run. Ran to the end of the paved river trail and back out, then through Willow Park, and back home, plus another mile with the dog. It was a beautiful morning: it had just rained, so the air was humid and had that "fresh" feeling to it. Reminded me of running back in Indiana. Plus, I didn't see a single other soul during the run; it was just me, God, and the birds in our outdoor sanctuary. A perfect way to start my Easter morning! I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be from the race. Just that "beat-up" feeling around my ankles, and a little fatigue in the quads. The run went quite well. I didn't wear a watch, but it was probably around 8:00/mile pace. Yesterday after the race I massaged everything, took a nap, and then went out and played some frisbee with my wife, so did some barefoot running in the grass. My legs actually felt a lot better after that, so I think it's good to keep moving after a race. Happy Easter everyone!!! (Adrenaline yellow: 475 miles)

AM - Slept in until 7AM, then got up and ran an easy 4 miles (paved river trail). Legs are still in recovery mode, but have improved noticeably each day since the race, so that's good. If I feel completely recovered tomorrow, I'll try some tempo running. PM - Another easy 7 miles, this time out to the Hydro Park and back via the canal trail. Pace was 7:35/mile. Ave HR hung out in the upper 130s for most of the run. Everything is feeling pretty good. (Adrenaline black: 408 miles)

AM - 4 easy miles. Paved river trail. Did 6x100m striders, which felt pretty snappy. (Adrenaline orange: 206 miles) PM - Jogged the dog around the block, then ran with Ben and Jon on the Logan Canyon River Trail. We took the upper loop to the top of Spring Hollow, and then back down through Spring Hollow Campground and back on the River Trail. It was longer than what I set out to do, but a fun run. It was good to run with Ben again, despite his stinky butt.

CV interval workout on the track today. Did 6x1000m with 200m jog in between (~1 minute). Started out by warming up 1 mile, and then doing Tinman Tempo on the way up to the USU track. Averaged around 6:00/mile during tempo, half of which was uphill. I was feeling good, which I was thankful for, since I hate doing track workouts when I'm tired, as they are mentally difficult as it is. The intervals went well too. They were 3:13, 3:15, 3:13, 3:15, 3:13, 3:08. My goal pace was 3:15 (5:12/mile pace), so I hit that. The last interval I opened it up a little bit on the last 600m. HR averaged in the mid-170s for the intervals, and peaked at 184 on the last one. It definitely doesn't tick like it used to... Ran up through campus after the intervals, and then down to the mouth of Logan Canyon on Hwy 89, and back on Canyon Rd and the canal trail. Ave HR for entire run 154. Ave pace for entire run 6:45/mile. (Adrenaline orange: 219 miles) | | Comments(7) |

Jogged around the block with the dog, and then did a long run from my house to the end of the river trail and back (Guiveva Malibu campground) with Jon, James, Dan, Cody, and Mark. We had a big group and beat up some cub scouts here and there. Overall pace averaged around 8:00/mile, but the last mile we did in 6:10 or so just for fun. Didn't feel great today, but got the distance in. 90 miles this week (most since '04), upper 80's scheduled for the next two weeks. (Cascadia: 70 miles) | | Comments(1) |
