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

No activity today. I feel like I was thrown off a horse, and then the horse repeatedly and purposely stomped on my left calf about 10 times. And then other various barnyard animals came out and trampled my quads, hips, and hamstrings. And then that horse came back out and stomped my left calf a few more times just for spite. The plan is to get a long massage tomorrow, gets lots of sleep, drink lots of fluid, and do some elliptical Tues-Thurs. I'll start running again no sooner than Friday. For those interested, Sean Sundwall (3rd place overall, the guy I ran most of the race with) has posted his race report on his personal blog. If you haven't gotten enough of race reports already, it's a good read. http://twenty6two.blogspot.com/2007/10/olympic-trials-here-i-come.html

| I'm still pretty sore today. My left calf is the main problem. I went in this afternoon for a nice, long massage. My massage therapist is a miracle worker. Talk about the laying on of hands and anointing with oil... Afterwards, I went to the gym and did 15 minutes pretty easy on the elliptical. Planet Fitness now has a new building. It is bigger and has more TVs. Weighed in at 131 pounds. | | Comments(5) |

| Biked to the gym and did 15 minutes on the elliptical. Everything is feeling much better after the massage yesterday, especially the quads. The left calf is still the worst area, but it will be there by Friday. | | Comments(2) |

| Biked to the gym and did 15 minutes on the treadmill. My quads are ready to run again. My left calf is not quite there today, but should be good to go tomorrow. I'm looking forward to running again, but it's been a nice recovery week. I've needed to extra time to get logistics together for NY. The USATF and NYRR have made this as painless as possible, and I am all set up for flight and hotel. Stacy is coming with me, and we managed to get her on the same flights, and the seat next to me for the most part. Family does not stay free at the host hotel, but we're getting a very good deal for NYC, as these rooms ordinary go for about $500/night. I am really glad I hit the "A", as it allowed us to afford Stacy to come along, which is really important to me. I can't imagine how much people spend to travel out for the New York Marathon. | | Comments(2) |

Today I *gasp* went running! Finally. 7 mile out-and-back to First Dam. I bumped into Vance Twitchell, his wife, and Seth Wold's wife, and shot the breeze for a while with them about the Trials and about D-I Pre-Nats this weekend in Terre Haute. I am very interested in seeing how Seth Wold does down there, as well as our own Nick Miller. Having race results to look forward to will help diminish post-marathon race-result withdraw (PMRRW). Anyway, the run today felt pretty good. My quads, hips, glutes, and hammies are all fully recovered and feeling loose. My right calf feels great, but my left calf is still sore, and inhibited my foot strike and push off a bit. But it is getting better every day, so hopefully it will swing around by Monday or so. 7:33/mile average pace. (Triax: 141 miles) | | Comments(3) |

7 miles on the River Trail with Cody. It was a nice morning, cool with logs of colored leaves on the ground. It started raining at the very end. My left calf felt a little better than yesterday. Went home and took a glorious nap. 7:46/mile average pace. (Hardrock: 96 miles)
