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

| Big Workout today. Ran from work, and did the classic Millville Hill Loop, with 10 miles of tinman tempo. Cooled down on grass at Logan High for a few miles. Averaged 6:12/mile for the 16-mile run. Tempo splits were 5:52, 5:49, 5:46, 6:02 (the hill, new PR), 5:52, 5:54, 5:48, 5:39, 5:53, 5:39. Kept things pretty steady and didn't gas myself early, so the hill went pretty well, then I just cruised the downhill. Good run, and a nice day for it. Got rained on a little bit. |

| Helped out at the Leatham Hollow aid station for the Bear 100 this morning. Dave and I went out and watched the start to cheer Jon on. Then we got breakfast and headed up to Leatham. Set up the aid station, and then I decided to get a few miles by running up the trail. I did that a few other times, and got about 6 misc miles that way. After we shut down the aid station, I rounded out my mileage by running down Lefthand Fork, and then up Blacksmith Fork. Got a big tailwind going uphill, and then fought the headwind going down hill. Got 9 miles for that run, and 15 miles total for the day. Averaged 6:56/mile for the 9-mile run. |

Long Run / Big Workout. Warmed up for 2-miles, then did 4x3-miles @ MP, with 3-min recovery jog. Ran on the Bear River Ranch out-and-back. It went pretty terrible. The first few miles were okay, but the last half was a death-march. My legs had nothing to offer today, so I just completed the workout and didn't worry about pace. It was an MP effort, but my MP on race-day better be a lot faster! Splits were (5:28, 5:20, 5:24), (5:20, 5:34, 5:39), (5:30, 5:45, 5:42), (5:38, 5:56, 5:52).
There was a post on therunzone.com, where Tinman responded to someone else about a workout during high-mileage weeks: Remember to not race the intervals. You are running high mileage, which
is good, and there is never a need to run super-hero workouts while
doing high mileage. You need lots of weeks of steady training, moderate
workouts, and over time your body will continue to transform. Let the
pace come to you, and never push your body to achieve a pace. Keep going
strong!
Although this was not directed to me, it may as well have been, so I've been keeping the phrase "let the pace come to you" in my head this past week. 6:18/mile average pace for 20 miles today. 96 miles for the week. Next week is an easy week, hurrah! Only 60 miles during this "recovery" week, and then a couple more hard week before my taper. Starting the smell the barn... One other note: today I passed up my total mileage from last year. Always a good benchmark to achieve in September.
