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 my banking errands, then ran up Smithfield Canyon and Birch Creek a little ways to look at the rivers. No flooding, but very close, especially at some of the lower road culverts. 8.25 miles, 7:16/mile average. |

| Smithfield Canyon, until the road turned into a river channel. Turned around at the sandbags. Then added on some mileage by going up Summit to Hillside and back on the canal trail. 8 miles, 6:35/mile average. |

Bear River Ranch out-and-back, 13 miles, tinman tempo pace. Averaged 5:56/mile.
Figured out my racing schedule a little bit more. I'll be running the TOU Half and TOU Marathon. They are both great races, and I don't have to go anywhere. Maybe if I can get in good shape, I can take a stab at Hobie Call's record. I thought about doing St George this year, but think I will do it next year instead. I do have a little bit of unfinished business there.

| Wonderful day to run today. I did my favorite long run workout: 10 miles up Hollow Rd and Blacksmith Fork, and then 10 miles back down. I actually like the uphill more than the downhill. Got a workout PR today, 20 miles in 1:55:40 (5:46/mile). Averaged 5:58/mile on the uphill portion (had a tailwind), and then 5:36 on the downhill, into the headwind. Splits were 6:14, 6:08, 5:58, 6:10, 6:08, 5:57, 5:52, 5:38, 5:41, 5:51, (turnaround), 5:37, 5:50, 5:45, 5:42, 5:40, 5:28, 5:35, 5:29, 5:22, 5:26. Bumped into Scott during Mile 18, and he turned around and pushed me a bit that mile. Great workout, good confidence-booster three weeks out from UVM. My mileage has no been there, but I think I still have most of the fitness. A couple 70-mile weeks will help as well. |
