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

Back it this week. My plan for the next four weeks is to build my mileage up to 90 mpw, with a fair amount of tempo runs. No intervals planned, but will probably do some strides.

Did 8.25 miles easy this morning with Carson. We ran Birch Creek, up to the FS fence and back. Beautiful morning. 7:34/mile average pace.

PM - 5 miles with Seth, Forrester Acres. 7:29/mile average.

Ran in a warm rain/mist this morning. It was quite nice, reminded me of growing up. I did an out-and-back up Smithfield Canyon at a moderate to brisk pace. Got to the dirt road and went about a mile up before turning around. Averaged 6:24/mile for the mile.

AM - 5 miles on the rather muddy canal trail. But the canal is flowing again, which lends a certain aesthetic quality that I have missed since last fall. Averaged 6:40/mile for the run.

PM - Ran home from work. 6:43/mile average pace for 8.25 miles.

Ran the Logan Canyon River Trail today. I used to this almost every week, but have not ran it yet this year. Parked at First Dam for a little bit of extra distance. I took the upper route (Bridger Lookout), and then came down the rock slide into Spring Hollow, and went on to Guineva Malibu, and then turned around and came back along the river. 12.5 miles total. It was a nice, cool day to run.
