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

AM - 3 miles real easy. 8:30/mile average. Felt "beh". It's hard to get going in the morning.

PM - ran with Jon and Cody through River Heights to the gym. Today was Pizza Monday at the gym, and I ate 4 pieces of pizza, sea-level equivalent to 4.5 pieces of pizza. Other than eating, I did 15 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes on the bike. Then lifted weights:

  • 2x15 bench press @ 115 lbs
  • 1x25 arm curls @ 20 lbs
  • 1-minute leg press @ 115 lbs
  • 2x12 adductors @ 90 lbs
  • 2x12 abductors @ 90 lbs
Ran home.

time to resurrect the fabulous custom shoe counter. First, I need to calibrate where I left off:

(Elite: 208 miles)

(Adrenaline: 80 miles)

(Axiom: 15 miles)

(Tangent: 15 miles)

(Triax: 425 miles)

The sea-level equivalent is just too funny.

From Jon on Mon, Mar 03, 2008 at 21:59:01

Wouldn't it be fewer pizzas at sea level, since food weighs slightly less at elevation so you can eat more?

From Paul Petersen on Mon, Mar 03, 2008 at 22:23:21

Yes, but there is less oxygen in the blood to break down the pizza at altitude.

From Jon on Mon, Mar 03, 2008 at 22:49:02

Look at the mileage board quick! You're the last one on the first page!

From Cody on Mon, Mar 03, 2008 at 23:20:27

Ha!

From johnr on Mon, Mar 03, 2008 at 23:33:21

Did you use the NCAA or USATF pizza conversion tables?

By the way, how was the run home after 4 (4.5 aa) pieces?

From dave holt on Tue, Mar 04, 2008 at 09:44:55

Sea equivalent?!!!!!

From Paul Petersen on Tue, Mar 04, 2008 at 09:57:43

The run home was pretty good. My stomach is a rock from years of practice.
