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 - did a nice 12-mile loop on the west side of Montrose. Felt pretty good. I found out last night that my morning meeting is canceled, so I am heading back a little early. That will be nice. 6:56/mile average pace.

(Triax: 16 miles)

PM - got home from my trip and did the Planet Walk to shake out my legs. I didn't wear a watch, but my legs felt fresh and the pace felt snappy, maybe 6:20-6:30 range. Odd.

Nice easy run for you. Kind of nice that you can head home early, because it's always nice to go home.

If it's still alright I would like to stay at your place for the Top of Utah Marathon. I don't know how well I'll do since I'll be pushing the Pocatello Marathon on September 1st real hard. But I hope I can respond with a decent time.

I really do appreciate your offer your a very kind person. I might decide to be conservative at the Pocatello Marathon than push TOU hard.

I'm thinking I should be in town by 5pm on that Friday to pick-up the packet and

eat somewhere.

Kory, that sounds good. I'll talk to the other Logan guys. Maybe we'll have some sort dinner Friday night for whoever is in town.

I'm loving this nap thing. Found a kind of shelf at the office where I can curl up and go out for 20-30 minutes in the early PM. It's amazing how much better the legs feel when I wake up.

Naps are key. I seriously think they are what is keeping me fresh through these 100-mile weeks.

Is this a George Costanza kind of office shelf? Ticking bombs?

Something like it, but you know, this is real life: my boss wouldn't budge on the adjustable hats.
