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

| Have a bit of buggy cough, so "slept in" this morning. In evening, I ran out to LHS rec fields, then did 3x0.5mile laps, continuous. Splits were all 3:45 (7:30/mile pace). Then did 4x200m barefoot strides in grass: 45, 41, 42, 40. So my mile pace is about 30 seconds faster than last time, and my strides several seconds faster, approaching 5:20 pace. Strides in particular felt good, and I'm digging the barefoot thing. Maybe I'll get some Nike Free's when it gets cold. I'm starting to think that my strides are less than 200m, but I measured it on Google Earth, and it's pretty much right on, over if anything. I'll take the GPS next time, to validate. | | Comments(1) |

| Still have annoying cough. It was a busy day today, as I had deadlines to meet at work, had to take my parents to SLC airport (3-hr round trip), and then had an evening financial class. No time for any sort of workout, other than some stretching and theraband exercises at home right before bed. | | Add Comment |

| Very little time again today. I did manage to sneak out of my chiro's office while waiting for an adjustment and do a couple miles plus barefoot strides at Hyrum park. My groin felt a bit looser, so still some improvement. I will probably try 3 miles by the end of the week. | | Comments(2) |

| Biked to gym. On way to gym stopped at Logan River Trail and ran to end of trail and back, about 2.5 miles. Tried to do the little loop at the end of the park, but found that it was completely overgrown and impassible. I guess it's been awhile since I've ran there. My two Golden "Mile" splits were right around 6:35 each, so 40 seconds faster each way than last week. Good improvement in my stride. If Cody's measurement is right and my math is correct, then that comes out to 7:14/mile pace, which ironically is what I thought I ran there last week before I found out it was short. Did 20 minutes of elliptical at gym, then lifted and stretched. Good day. | | Comments(1) |

| Still coughing, but it may be a bit better. Biked out to the Logan Canyon River Trail this morning, and battled a mightly canyon wind the last mile or so. Once I got to the trail and parked my bike, it was a bit better because the trail is sheltered. Ran ~2 miles to where the single-track begins, then turned around and came back ~1 mile, as I planned to do about 3 miles and then walk for cooldown. Got bored with walking, though, and ran another 0.5 miles, then walked in the remaining quarter mile back to my bike. Biking home was much easier since the mighty canyon wind was now at my back. Pace today was slow, but it's the longest I've gone so far post-injury, so that's fine. | | Comments(1) |
