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

I was pretty sore and tired from the Saturday's race, so I just jogged to the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. Hamstrings are very tight.

Ran the dog around the block in the morning, then ran the Landfill Loop (5.5 miles) at noon. Felt better than yesterday, although muscles are still a bit stiff and sore. 7:14/mile average pace.

Ran the dog around the block in the morning. Ran to First Dam and back in the evening. 7:41/mile pace. Still recovering from Saturday. It stinks to not have a base.

Ran the dog around the block, then biked to the chiropractor and back. Good enough for today.

Finally feel recovered from Saturday. This morning I ran the dog around the block, then did a North Logan Loop (about 10 miles). Averaged 7:04/mile. I think I'll get back to doing workouts next week, but this recovery week has been good.

Ran the dog around the block, then ran out to the end of the single track on the River Trail (it's finally open again). Hit a voracious headwind going into Logan Canyon, but got it as a tailwind going out. I did about 5 miles of tinman tempo on the way back, hitting 5:50-6:00 miles for that stretch, and finally passed up the 7-minute guy with about a mile to go. 6:57 average pace for the run.
