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 out-and-back on paved river trail nice and easy. Beautiful day. My legs feel better today than the last few days, so maybe they just needed a long, slow 18-miler in the snow to revitalize them. (Adrenaline blue: 69 miles)

AM - easy 4.5 miles to end of paved river trail and back, then a block with the dog. Did 3x100m strides. Everything felt pretty good. (Adrenaline black: 455 miles) PM - easy 6.5 miles. Ran up the Center Street hill and turned off into River Heights, then into Providence. Stopped at the gym to eat pizza, lift a few weights, and cancel my membership, then continued home. Did 3x100m strides in the middle of the run. Average pace for run was 6:53/mile. (Adrenaline orange: 316 miles) | | Comments(4) |

Gorgeous sunny day up here in Cache Valley. My legs got spring fever and were in the mood for a strong aerobic run. Did the North Logan-USU loop in 65 minutes (6:30/mile). LT intervals tomorrow. (Adrenaline blue: 79 miles) | | Add Comment |

5x1600m repeats at Logan High track today, LT pace. Great temperature to run at 6AM, plus no wind, so ideal for a good workout. I felt pretty decent, especially after the first few intervals. Cody showed up and ran with me on the 4th interval, during my first and last lap. Having someone there to run alongside me got me going a lot faster, and "primed" my engine for the last interval too. Interval splits were 5:18, 5:18, 5:19, 5:11, 5:11. Ironically, the 5:11's felt easier than the first three. 1 lap rest between intervals (2:00)
Cooled down a couple laps then did about three miles at 6:15-6:20 pace, then cooled down more with the dog. Good workout. (Burn: 143 miles)

Ran up to the USU track from home, where I met Cody and James. Cody was going to make his sub-5:00 mile attempt, and James and I were going to pace him. Did a few strides, and then we started the time trial. Since I did an interval workout yesterday, I just paced Cody for the 1st and 3rd laps. My first 400 was a high 73. My second 400 (the 3rd lap of the 1600m) was a 75, so right on pace. They felt pretty good. Cody ended up at 5:00.00 for his 1600m, a 3-second PR. Ran back home afterward and then did a block with the dog. (Adrenaline blue: 88 miles) | | Add Comment |

Ran at noon from my office. It was pretty hot out, but I enjoyed a good sweat. Did the Landfill Loop. Legs were feeling good and wanted to do 6:20 miles, so I let them. Did 6x100m barefoot strides in the grass at LHS near the end. (Adrenaline black: 461 miles)

Started at Dry Canyon and ran the Bonneville/Deerfence Trail down to Blacksmith Fork Canyon and back. It's about a 14-mile out-and-back. I used to call this route "18 miles", but that was back in the day before Garmins and G-Maps. This was one of my two "long runs" before the Ogden Marathon in 2003. Now it's one of my taper runs. My, how technology and better information changes things. Hopefully I will do better this year in Ogden than I did in 2003 (2:43:46). Twenty minutes faster would be nice. The cows are out in the section between Millville Canyon and Blacksmith Fork. None of them got aggressive on me, but I did have to jump over their dung, plus the trail was badly trampled (rolled my ankle a couple times). I would consider becoming 100% vegetarian and dairy-free if it would get rid of all the cattle on my favorite running routes.... Legs are feeling good. It's been a couple years since I've done this full route, but the rolling hills seem a lot easier than before. I think all those Ogden races helped. Run took about 1:52:00 or so. Probably about 8:00/mile, a good pace for me considering the difficulty of the trail. Nice day. 66 miles for the week. The taper intensifies next week...
