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

| Equinox Half Marathon. Was hoping to run under 1:06 here, as it is a downhill course with a similar gradient as TOU. Thought I was in shape to do this, but I guess I'm not. Ran with Jeremy Freed of Boulder for the first 7.5 miles, and then he surged and took off, pretty much leaving me in the dust. After that, I started to struggle a lot, and my pace really slowed quite a bit, especially the last three miles. With about 1.5 to go, another guy passed me, and I didn't do much to stop him. Ended up 3rd place overall, with a time of 1:07:54. It's not a terrible time, but I've run much faster, so I'm a bit disappointed. Still, it was a beautiful day to run down Poudre Canyon, and it was a pretty good way to spend a Sunday morning. Splits: 4:55, 4:54, 5:02, 5:04, 4:58, 5:00, 5:09, 5:09, 5:14, 5:22, 5:29, 5:30, 5:33, 31s. I guess if I could do it again, I'd go out slower, but at the time I felt it was the right pace, as it was similar to what I've done at TOU and UVM in the past.

| Woke up today with a mild head cold, plus my legs are pretty sore. It's funny...this kind of downhill race would not have made me sore while I was living in Utah, but the downhill training opportunities are much more limited out here in Fort Collins. Not surprised that I got sick either, as my whole family got sick last week. I'm always to last to pick up the bugs, but it's almost unavoidable. | | Add Comment |
