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

| Stacy, Seth, and I went for an afternoon hike up Smithfield Dry Canyon. It was short, because Seth was being fussy. But the physical exertion felt good, so I did a run afterward, 4 miles on the canal trail. The right quad is still sore, but on the upswing. |

| Canal trail, finally found the "end" of it: a big gate and fence with a "no trespassing" sign. Apparently the rich folks don't like us poor folks going near their back yard...even though the canal access road is an easement. Supposedly these fences are illegal, but people do it anyway. But the dirt path does give me a run of 7.5 miles, completely free of traffic and with no hills, so I'll have to take it for what it is (even though I want more). 7:00/mile average pace. Soreness is quad is finally gone. |

| Canal trail to Summit Dr., down to Canyon Rd to Birch Creek Rd, then trail back out to Foothill, then back home with some extra canal trail thrown in for distance. 6:52/mile average pace. |

| A delightful evening of running. I ran along the golf course to Summit Dr., down to the center of town, and then out the north end on the lower canal trail. Great views of the snowy Wellsvilles from all angle. Weather was perfect: brisk, some wind, and a few snow flakes, but then it cleared up. Beautiful fall weather. Finally. 6:30/mile average pace for 8 miles. |

| Ran up Dry Canyon Rd a little ways, looking for a trail that connects into Birch Canyon. I ran up and down the fields for a while, and then found what could have been it, but it was fenced off. No posted sign, but barbed wire is a sign enough for me that I'm not wanted. So I turned back and went back down Dry, east on Hillside Dr. and onto the canal trail, then turned left onto a gravel road that intersects the trail that I've been wanting to explore. Ran up it a ways, and then turned right on what I assumed to be the Bonneville ST. Took the BST to Hyde Park Canyon. There is a dirt road that goes up Hyde Park Canyon that will be worth exploring later, plus the BST looked like it kept going south, but for the sake of time and distance I turned off into Hyde Park onto the roads again, and ran through all the ridiculous stupid houses that people build up there. Honestly, who needs a 5-car garage? Found the canal trail, and ran home on that. 7:09/mile for the run, not bad for all the climbing. |

| Ran up Canyon Rd to Birch Creek, and ran up the dirt road to the start of the single track. Scoped out parking for tomorrow. It's a great road, no one on it, not too steep, and a nice dirt surface. Fall colors are great too. Averaged 6:51/mile for the run (8.25 miles total) |

| Did a trail run with Jon and Cody. We ran up Smithfield Dry Canyon and down Birch Canyon. See their writeup for more details. In general, Dry was hard going up, and Birch was delightful going down. Snow and mud from 6000' on up. |
