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

| Travel day to El Centro, CA for work. Flew out of SLC into San Diego at 8AM. Had brunch (it's a combination of breakfast and lunch, and comes with a piece of melon, you'll love it...), then drove over to beautiful El Centro. Piddled around for a few hours getting the conference room ready and touching up powerpoints. Finally got out for a run around 6:30PM, and easy 6-miler along the canals with Bryan (guy on project team who happens to be a pretty good runner). Did I mention that El Centro is 100 ft below sea level? Ah, oxygen. The run felt pretty good despite all the travel and a brutal headwind from the west. Hopefully I can get some decent runs in on Monday and Tuesday. It's pretty much damage-control on business trips like this, a getting in a 10-miler is bonus. We'll see... | | Comments(1) |

| Day 2 in El Centro. Did a 6AM 10-miler with Bryan along the canals south of time. Beautiful morning, as far as Imperial Valley goes, shorts and t-shirt weather. This place is a flat as a pancake, and has bad air to boot, thanks to all the bovine universities and Mexicali to the south. But the dirt canal access roads make for some decent running. Don't have any idea of pace, but the Bryan and I agreed that the last half of it felt like sub-7 pace.

Only had time for 7 miles this morning (Day 3 in El Centro). The rest of the day was filled with non-stop meetings, tutorials, and travel. I'll be glad to be home tomorrow. It took about half the run to wake up this morning, but then Bryan was game for doing a little "brisk" pace on the way back, so we did a few miles at 6:20/mile pace.

Got up at 4:30AM and flew out of San Diego back to Logan. Slept the entire flight. Then slept for the entire shuttle ride home. Then crawled into bed and slept for 3 hours. Finally got around to going for a run around 5PM, and fortunately the rain and snow had cleared up to sun. I did a tinman tempo today on the Millville Hills loop. My legs felt pretty bad the entire run, and I knew I was in for a long day when my HR was in the upper 140s at 7:00-pace (about 10bpm high). Still, I managed to average 6:03/mile pace for the 8-mile tempo, which has a lot of long hills. Ave HR for the tempo was 169, and maxed at 181 on one of the long uphills. Ave pace for entire run was 6:23/mile and ave HR was 162. Floundered through 4x100m strides at the end of the workout. I'm glad I got the workout in, but hope very much I get the trip out of me and feel better tomorrow. (Adrenaline orange: 256 miles)

AM - easy 4.5 to end of paved river trail and back, with jog around the block with the dog. (Adrenaline yellow: 486 miles) PM - 10.5 miles out to climbing wall on River Trail and back, via canal trail. Felt okay, probably 7:00/mile pace or so. (Adrenaline black: 426 miles) | | Comments(3) |

AM - Easy 6 miles - landfill loop plus around the block with the dog. SI was stiff for the first mile or so, then loosened up. Felt okay during run. Kind of a blah week so far. (Adrenaline orange: 262 miles) PM - 9.5 miles or so with James. We ran out to Logan Canyon and just on the Pipeline Trail and took it to the end, then came back on the river trail and the canal trail. I've haven't done the Pipeline in a couple years, so it was fun to get out on it. (Adrenaline yellow: 496 miles -- retired!)

| Long run with James and Cody. We drove up to the mouth of Blacksmith Fork Canyon and ran 9 miles up, averaging around 7:15/mile. When we turned around, I did some MP and LT intervals, using the TOU mileposts. 2 miles at MP (11:20), 1 mile at LT (5:15), 2 miles at MP (11:10), 1 mile at LT (5:30). Two minutes rest between each interval. A headwind picked up over the course of the workout, which slowed things down a little, but not too bad. I then rejoined Cody and James, and we did 6:30 pace the rest of the way down the canyon, including 6:10 for the last mile. It felt pretty decent, as far as long runs go, and I'm glad I did some faster running during it. 6:45/mile pace for the entire run. Ave HR 152 for the entire run, upper 170s during the intervals (181 max). (Adrenaline blue: 20 miles) | | Add Comment |
