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

| biked to gym; 35 minutes on elliptical, 0.5 miles on treadmill at 6% grade at 9:00/mile pace. Daniels' treadmill chart converts that roughly to 7:00/mile at 0% grade. It seems that running on an uphill gradient is easier on my groin, so I will try it some more. Lifted and stretched as well. Did 5 or 6 sets on the adductor machine (like a thighmaster with weights), increasing weight each set. It's funny, the first set hurt my groin with just 20 pounds, but by the last set (at 80 pounds) there was very little pain. My adductor felt stronger for the rest of the night too, so I'll try to do that again. After months of PT, my adductors are still weaker than most childrens', so continuing to strengthen those to normal levels and beyond will be key for injury-free running. | | Add Comment |

| biked to gym (in dark). Chilly morning, made me think of how cold it is waiting around for TOU to start. I'll be in my nice, warm bed though. Did 40 minutes on elliptical (wanted to quit after 30, but forced myself to finish over the protest of my quads). Lifted and stretched. Jogged 0.5 miles around block with dog. | | Add Comment |

| parents are in town, so no time to go to gym. I did manage to sneak out after work and biked over to my favorite paved trail along the Logan River for a run. They have a mile marked out, so I ran an out-and-back for 2 miles total. Total time was 14:28, and both mile splits were 7:14. At least I still have my sense of pacing. It felt good to get on one of my normal running routes, and not just do laps around the LHS fields. I would have preferred grass or dirt, but the pavement didn't feel too bad. | | Comments(3) |

| No time to run today, as I was selling maps at the TOU expo all late afternoon and evening. Met a few other bloggers, which was very cool. | | Add Comment |

| Ran from my house to the TOU finish line, doing the last 1.5 miles on the TOU course. Got a split from Mile 25 to 26 at exactly 8:00. Felt pretty good, especially considering I was standing up at the expo all night. Did 4x150 barefoot strides on grass at the TOU finish line before the first finishers came in. I was quite impressed with all performances at TOU. Several bloggers had hefty PR's and exceeded goals. Several of my other friends killed their goals as well. I think there were something like 37 people total under 3:00, and one American qualified for trials, "breaking the seal" for the TOU race. I imagine the race can build off this year and have even better comp next year. Hopefully I can be part of that field. | | Comments(7) |
