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

| took today off. My quads are still hammered from Saturday. Just sticking with my "don't run while I'm sore policy". I'm kind of surprised and disappointed that I'm so sore, but maybe it will help me for Des News... | | Comments(3) |

| Took another day off due to soreness. Should be ready to go again tomorrow. So basically one trail run ruined an entire week of training. Goes to show how dangerous trails are. I'll never run one again. However, it has also shown me how much I enjoy not running. I look forward to my imminent retirement from the sport. | | Comments(3) |

| Back at it. Quads are still sore, but not the deep soreness from the last few days. Ran to Hyde Park and back with Carson. 7:15/mile average. |

| Smithfield Canyon with Carson. 10 miles, 7:12/mile. Quads are...ahem...still sore. But at least not tender to the touch anymore. Very nice, cool morning. I was actually a bit chilly for the first half. |

| Long run with a workout today. I got up early (had a meeting at 8AM, so needed to finish and shower before then!), and ran up Smithfield Canyon. I wanted to do tinman tempo pace on the way up (6:15/mile), but it wasn't happening. Averaged about 6:50/mile on the uphill on the road before I hit the dirt at about Mile 6. Had a slight headwind, plus the new chip 'n' seal slowed things down, but it was mostly due to running so early; I can never run fast until at least 7AM. I continued up the canyon dirt road at a decent pace, and then eventually got to the start of the single track after a couple miles. Did a mile on the single track, then it was time to turn around a little bit after the first creek crossing. It's a pretty good trail, and I still need to run the whole thing at some point (goes all the way to Tony Grove). So I turned around at 9 miles and went back down. Pace was pretty easy until I hit the paved road, then I started the workout portion of the run: 2x2-miles with 2 minutes recovery (deuces wild?). The first two-mile interval was 10:02 (5:05, 4:57). The first mile was a little slow, but I got to be feeling better by the second mile. My body had finally woken up. The second interval was better: 9:42 (4:54, 4:48). So by the time I felt good and warmed up, it was time to cool down! Kept a steady 6:30 pace back up to my house to finish the run. 18 miles total, 6:42/mile average.
