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

| New month. "Got the urge" and jogged out to LHS rec fields and did a half mile lap (3:31) and then 4x200m barefoot strides. The first stride was in 38, then I missed the time on the next 2, but then the last one was in 35, so they're really starting to rip and feel good. | | Comments(6) |

| I wanted to give my foot a break, so I just crosstrained today. Biked to gym and did 30 minutes on elliptical. That's all I had time for today. Did stretching, theraband exercises, and some core work late evening at home. | | Add Comment |

| raining buckets. Drove over to gym and did 30 minutes on elliptical and then ran 2 miles on treadmill at a 3% grade at 7:30 pace (equivalent to 6:58 on level ground, according to Daniels chart). Felt pretty smooth. Lifted and stretched. | | Add Comment |

| Slow day at work, so took off to the gym for an extended lunch break. Ran 2.5 miles on the Logan River trail on the way, and then did 30 minutes on elliptical. The rear part of my arch is slightly tender, but other than that everything feels fine. | | Add Comment |

| Caught a break in the rain and did an out-and-back to the 1000 W 600 S intersection. Stopped by the skate park on the way back and did 4x200m barefoot strides (36, 35, 33, 32). Pushed the last two a bit more, but they were by no means all-out (defeats the purpose of strides if they are), so I felt pretty good about it. Plus, only one little skater punk made a running remark as I went by, another bonus. Measured the path in Google Earth when I got home, and it turned out to be 191 meters, so maybe add a second or two to each one. | | Add Comment |

| Woke up this morning at 7:30AM with a coughing fit. Sleep didn't come back to me, so I decided that it was time to get up and go for a run. It was rainy and cool here in Logan, and made me wonder what conditions were like in St. George; probably pretty good if it's anything like this. I drove out to the Logan Canyon River Trail, and ran to the start of the single track and back, a distance of roughly 4 miles. 15:20 up and 14:00 back on the downhill. Felt pretty good, and I ran quite a bit faster than last week without pushing it any harder, so the form is still improving. This is my longest run since April. I felt like a real runner again, being out in the rain and all, and not sweating on some elliptical or treadmill surrounded by people reading celebrity gossip magazines. 16 running miles this week; will try 20 next week. Looking forward to seeing the St. George results. | | Add Comment |
