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

| No running. I'm in Moab for most of this week for a work conference and some training classes. After my class, I did some biking and rode up from my hotel to the Slickrock trail to check it out. The ride there was farther and steeper than I expected, and I was actually fairly gassed just from that. On top of that, you're supposed to pay $2 to ride the trail and I didn't have my wallet on me. I figured it wasn't worth breaking the rules to do something I'm bad at, and given the fact that the ride there was a very good workout and very beautiful, and that I was fairly tired and hungry by that point, I had no problems just turning around and hurtling back down the hill. Maybe later this week I'll drive out there again and try it for real. I'm a bad mountain biker, but I do enjoy it. It's hard staying in shape on the road, especially when you can't run. The "fitness center" at my hotel is a joke, so cross training is out the window. Fortunuately, I brought my bike and hope to get some good rides in. Unfortunately, my wife couldn't come to keep me company, so it's me here...me and Jack Daniels. That is, The Jack Daniels Running Formula. I just starting reading it. I'm more of a Pfitzinger guy, but this is a classic that I've been wanting to read. Side note: I actually had breakfast with Jack Daniels at the 2001 (or 2000?) DIII track nationals. My coach (Brian Diemer) was friends with Jack, as Jack had performed tests on Brian back in the 80s when Brian was an elite steepler (bronze at '84 Oly games). I'm sure Jack has no recollection of the breakfast, but looking back at it I think it's pretty cool, although I didn't think much of it at the time since I only thought of Jack as SUNY Cortland's coach and not some guru. But that was my closest brush with running fame, aside from getting lapped by most of the Hansons team in a 10k. Back to the book... | | Comments(2) |

| No running. Biked Willow Flats 4x4 road in Arches Park. It was a good ride with a few challenging parts, plus total solitude, a rarity for Arches. I was blessed with a few drops of rain at the end to cool off. | | Add Comment |

| No running or any workout. I drove home from Moab, and by the time I got settled in and organized, it was time for bed. I stopped by the Wasatch Running Center on the way to say hi to Glen, and stocked up on plantar fasciitis stuff as well (new shoes, arch supports, massage ball, support strap). The support strap (Bledsoe PFS) actually seems to make it hurt more, but maybe I just need to adjust it differently. I think the idea is to reduce pain through compression. | | Add Comment |

| Went to gym and did some biking and light lifting. Foot hurt too much to do any elliptical. | | Add Comment |
