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

| Labor Day -- no work. It also means that the gym is closed, but that's okay. I jogged out to the Logan High sports fields (0.25 miles), then did 2x200m barefoot strides in the grass, at 1:05 each. The idea of barefoot strides is to strengthen the feet, so I thought I'd give it a try. It felt okay. Then I put my shoes back on and did the 0.5 grass loop in 4:05, which is a post-injury PR. I'll take what I can get at this point. Perhaps next time I'll break the 8-minute mile barrier. Did a hike out to White Pine Lake with friends later in the morning. Fortunately it was a fairly soft dirt trail most of the way. My foot was a bit sore and tired by the end, but felt better after icing. Hopefully it will not make me worse but make me stronger. | | Add Comment |

| biked to gym; 30 mintues on elliptical plus lifting and stretching. For all the use I gave to my foot and groin yesterday, they don't feel much worse. The foot is a little more tender than usual, but nothing like it was back in May and June, so I think it held up well. | | Add Comment |

| biked to gym; 35 minutes on elliptical plus stretching. Jogged around block with dog. My foot has had more improvement, and I barely felt anything running today. Just need to get the left groin feeling good now. I go in for a 2-hr deep massage after work today; hopefully that will help. My orthotics are in, and I will get those on Monday. | | Add Comment |

| Jogged easy with dog around block, the walked out to Logan High rec fields and ran a mile in the grass in 8:20. Felt pretty good, as the massage I got yesterday really helped out my left adductor muscle, which has been problematic lately. Then I took my shoes off and did 2x200m barefoot strides in the grass in 52 seconds each. These felt really good, and were actually at 7 min/mile pace, which is my usual pace when I'm healthy. Regardless of whether they were actually 200m or not, they were each over 10 seconds faster than the strides I did on Monday on the same field, so it marks significant improvement. | | Add Comment |
