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 Seth up Dry Canyon. Walked most of the way up, jogged most of the way down. We'll call it 2 miles. We were going to hike around at the trailhead, but Seth fell asleep. As usual. |

| Big Workout today. Ran the Bear River Loop with 10 miles of MP tempo. Mile splits were 5:49, 5:38, 5:32, 5:18, 5:29, 5:22, 5:22, 5:23, 5:21, 5:20. 10 miles in 54:30, 5:27/mile average. This was essentially a progression run, since the first half of the route is downhill, and the second half is uphill (very slight grade). So those 5:20's at the end would have been sub-5:10 had they been going the other direction. Very pleased with the tempo, and other than my calves getting sore near the beginning (and staying sore), I felt very good. After the tempo, I stopped at home, hydrated a bit, and then grabbed Seth and we did the Forrester Acres out-and-back, 5 miles total at 8:00/mile pace. Slow going, but at least it was a nice morning.

| Ran from work, did the Providence Hill Loop. My garmin battery died during the run, but it was pretty slow anyway. Had some great cloud cover that kept things cool. |

Long run today, my first 20-miler of the season. I drove out to Hollow Rd to run on the TOU course. Ran up the canyon for 10 miles, then turned around and came back. Had a headwind for the first 5 miles, and a tailwind for the last 5 miles. Wasn't a huge wind today, but still decent. I got a bit of a late start 8AM, so it was a little warm, but tolerable.
I treated the run as a progression, and notched it up the run went on. Mile splits on the uphill with headwind were 6:26, 6:20, 6:26, 6:23, 6:17. After about 5 miles, the wind let up, and also I got some cloud cover. I got in a nice groove at that point. Next 5 uphill miles were 6:13, 6:02, 6:01, 6:08, 6:24. Had a 6:15/mile average for the 10 uphill miles.
I used the bathroom near the turnaround point (ToU 1/2 start line), then headed back down. The downhill felt pretty nice at this point. Next 5 miles were 5:52, 5:39, 5:40, 5:41, 5:39. I started to wear down a bit, but also collected a tailwind for the last 5 miles. I was thinking the wind might die completely by the time I got back there, but it was still blowing a little, and it definitely made a difference. My last 5 miles were 5:26, 5:27, 5:25, 5:22, 5:21. Total time for 20 miles was 1:58:11, with a 5:55/mile average. The run felt pretty good, and I didn't have any fueling issues. I generally don't take water or calories during these long runs, and today was no exception. I feel fit, and that feels good.
