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

Recovery is going pretty well from the marathon. I've was pretty sore on Sunday, but still able to climb a ladder and play with the swamp cooler on the roof without giving it a second thought. Had a slight (passing) urge to run yesterday, but that was mainly due to beautiful weather. Also, had a slight sore throat and congestion yesterday and today, mainly in the morning, and it clears up in a couple hours. Since marathons pretty much wipe out my immune system, I tend to get sick as it is, and with Enbrel I truly expected a cold. But I've been loading up on Emergen-C since Saturday, and so far it hasn't been too bad. Today I still have a little bit of soreness, but it might be gone by tomorrow. All-in-all, above average recovery, a little surprising giving my mileage base, but I'll take it.

| Helped Cody mark the Bear 100 course, from Logan Peak aid station to Leatham Hollow aid station, plus a nasty hike to the top of Providence Canyon from the rock quarry to get on the trail. It was pretty poor running, but good scenery and a nice day. I was pretty much "gone" by the end of the run, not thinking straight, walking a lot of downhill. But we made it. I did not have any soreness lingering from the marathon, which is great, but definitely had a lot of fatigue, so we did a lot of walking.

| My week of running penance continues. To recap, Cody and I marked 10 miles on the Bear 100 course. Which made me very sore. Yesterday, Jon, Cody, and I drove out to Leland's trout farm, picked up aid station supplies, sorted them out, and then came back to my house and chopped/cooked potatoes, and filled water jugs. And this morning was showtime: the actual aid station at Leatham Hollow, mile 20 of the course. We set up at 8AM (once again, MVP points to Cody for camping at the spot and having the tent and tables already set up when we got there). Then we chopped melon, arranged food and drink, rearranged food and drink, set up chairs, and did anything else we could think of that the runners would need or like. The two race directors (who started an hour early) came through around 8:40AM, and then the top runners around 9AM. It was a steady stream, especially froim 10:30-11:30 (or so), when what must have been 100 runners came through. Busy, busy, but they all got aided. The last person came through around 12:45, and then we could finally tear down and leave. It's tiring, but fun, and it feels good to give a little back to running (after taking so so much over the year). Still have more to do tomorrow: drive out to Bear Lake to the finish and drop off gear bags, and then drop the rest of the materials back at the trout farm. And then my week of running penance is over. I did not run today. I'm still too sore from Wednesday. Maybe tomorrow.

My right quad is still tender to the touch. The left one is okay, and everything else is okay. I didn't run today, since it would not have been enjoyable. It's funny how marking a trail set me back further than a road marathon. Maybe it's a sign that I should stay off of them, like I'm being rejected or vomited out from the trail system.
