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

| A rare morning workout. The Packers play at 5PM on Monday Night Football, so I need to get to work early, and no time for a run afterward. Very cool out; my hands froze.
Ran the dog around the block, then did the Millville Hill Loop (in the correct direction), with 7 miles of tinman tempo.Warmed up 2 miles, and hit sub-7 on the second mile, then started the tempo. | Mile | Split | Comment
| | 1 | 6:18 | uphill | | 2 | 6:11 | rolling | | 3 | 6:17 | 1/2 down, 1/2 up
| | 4 | 7:04 | The "Millville Hill"
| | 5 | 6:03 | Rolling, then up
| | 6 | 5:51 | downhill | | 7 | 5:41 | downhill |
Definitely not my best tempo, but I tried to keep it at a true tinman effort so that I can work out again on Thursday. This workout is always a fitness benchmark, so I've definitely got a ways to go. Did a few strides afterward, and cooled down. 6:30/mile average pace for the run.

8 miles on the River Trail with Jon. Beautiful day. ************** For anyone who's interested, I've updated my personal blog with a couple new postings. It had been over a month, so I figured I was overdue...

Moderate workout day. Warmed up by running to the USU track (about 3 miles). Then did 7x1000m @ CV pace, with 200m recovery (~1 minute). Yesterday I was struggling with allergies (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes). Today most of the symptoms were gone, but I was feeling rather lethargic and not sure about this workout. The first interval was indeed a bit lethargic, but the rest felt absolutely great. Took a short water break after the 5th interval, so got 2 minutes rest on that one.
| Interval | Split | | 1 | 3:24
| | 2 | 3:17 | | 3 | 3:17 | | 4 | 3:17 | | 5 | 3:17 | | 6 | 3:15 | | 7 | 3:10 |
I'm pleased with this, although I'm not sure why I would be so sluggish on the first, and then feel strong on rest. Guess I needed to warm up. Cooled down about a half mile, then did a few strides, then a couple tempo miles (5:40-6:00 pace), then a few more strides.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and it's my favorite time of year in Logan. It felt great just to be out there today and I praised God for the opportunity.

Did a long run down Blacksmith Fork with Jon's ATK club, meaning we had food, drink, and a shuttle with the run. Ran with Ruth, Jon, and Cody. Pace was leisurely, and the run went by pretty quick with the banter. Even with the slower pace, I was still really tired and a little sore by the end, mostly due to increasing my mileage this week. And maybe from not taking any NSAIDs since Wednesday. 7:08/mile average pace.
As of 10:30AM I am on the front page of the mileage board. It won't last long, but that hasn't happened in awhile. Don't I get a trophy or something?
