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

noon - easy 5 from work on Planet Walk. Did 8x100m strides in the middle. Didn't wear watch.

(Triax: 191 miles)

PM - went to the chiropractor in Hyrum, and then did an easy run nearby on Hollow Rd. I forgot my watch, so no time. Bummer. I'll just make something up: 6:51/mile. I also forgot to change my shoes, so my rotation got messed up. I feel kind of weird from having to run in the same pair of shoes twice in a row. Hopefully my head will not explode or anything.

(Triax: 196 miles

Paul, you head won't explode, your feet will be mad. Better get your feet glad before the big race. Good luck again.

I would bet your time was 6:57 not 6:51 you cheater. Giving yourself too much credit. Ha. Just call me the pace police.

Are you running in Ogden again tomorrow? I want some company for a run. What is everyone doing?

From Logan on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 22:03:45

James and I are doing 15 miles in Ogden tomorrow if anyone would like to join us. We are meeting at 11.

From Paul Petersen on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 22:33:08

Cody - no Ogden for me; I have to work tomorrow, so will probably be running about 15 miles around here. I am thinking about going up Center Street to Dry Canyon, to Millville Canyon along Deerfence, and then back along the TOU course. If you're around and want to run, let me know.

From Cody on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 22:42:20

Logan-

I am sick of traveling. The thought of driving even to Ogden makes me shudder. Thanks anyway.

Paul-

I was hoping for something a bit easier, but I am always willing to try. I will be willing to go anytime between 8 and 10. If that works, let me know and I will meet you at your place.

From Paul Petersen on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 23:23:53

Cody - let's shoot for 9AM.

From Cody on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 23:36:12

I will be there.
