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

| Day off. Quads as sore as yesterday, hammies are less tight. Usually it takes me two days to start feeling better after a marathon, so I expect tomorrow to be better. I've definitely felt worse, in any case. ******************* I've posted an entry on my personal blog weighing the pros and cons of running St. George vs. Chicago vs. Twin Cities as my fall OQ attempt. Read, if interested, and input is welcome.

My legs are ready to go again (no soreness), but my body decided at exactly 3:30PM yesterday to become sick. It was amazing: one minute I felt fine, and the next minute I had a cold! The last time I was sick was last September (a benefit of not having kids), so I'm going to use a few of those 130 sick hours I've accrued (but never use) at work. This exact same thing happened after St. George in 2005. Combine a hard marathon with a little heat, and the result is a destroyed immune system, at least for me. If I improve over the day, I may do some jogging this evening, but no hurry. Rest. PM - felt a little better, so ran the dog around the block, then ran to work and back, and then did the paved river trail. My hamstrings tightened up a little on the last part of the run, but other than that my legs felt pretty good. (Adrenaline blue: 99 miles) | | Comments(5) |

Feeling a bit better today, but still dealing with the head cold. Ran 7.5-mile landfill loop, nice and easy. Hamstrings are still tight, but legs don't feel beat up anymore. (Adrenaline black: 481 miles) ************* I've decided on my fall marathon and am officially registered. Thanks for all your feedback.

Easy easy distance out to paved river trail and then to Blackhawk condos, where I stopped to feed my vacationing friends' cat. It's a nice kitty, but is no dog. Ran back the same way. Still pretty congested and yucky-feeling, but energy levels are returning. (Adrenaline orange: 332 miles) | | Comments(1) |

Ran to the Temple Fork sawmill from the parking lot off of hwy 89. The single-track trail is in very good condition, and the run finally felt good too. My cold is nearly over and so is my recovery week. Back up to 65 miles or so next week. Played two hours of ulimate frisbee after the run and it kicked my butt. Lot of fun though.
