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

| Big Workout. Warmed up by running Hillshade to Summit, and then down to the cemetery. Not feeling very snappy today (likely due to mileage of the last couple weeks), but I knew if I let myself ease into the workout, I would feel better as it went on. Did 8x1000m @ CV on the cemetery loop, 1-minute recovery jog between intervals. A rare interval workout for me, but I figured I'm due, and don't want to get slow from too many long tempo runs. Interval splits were 3:20, 3:18, 3:14, 3:13, 3:06, 3:10, 3:06, 3:03. So the first half of the workout was pretty slow, but I finally got things humming on the second half. Felt pretty decent, thanks to not trying to overdo it and be a superhero. Sometimes you just have to take what your body gives you. Cooled down for about 6 miles. Ran back to the canal trail so that I could run on dirt and flat topography. Kept the pace honest, about 6:30-6:40. 15.75 miles total for the run, averaged 6:29/mile.

AM - camped with Seth and my dad up Smithfield Canyon last night. After breakfast and breaking camp, I send Seth back down with my dad in the car, and then I ran home. It's nice to do a downhill run without having to invest in the uphill. A preview for tomorrow, I suppose. 7:05/mile for 6 miles.
PM - Birch Canyon. 9 miles, 7:18/mile average pace.

Ran the Top of Utah Marathon today. Did it as a combined long run and also (more importantly) pace my buddy (and sometimes brother) David to his first sub-3hr marathon. Great morning to run, perfect temps. We planned to run at 2:55 pace, using my pace chart, but we were bleeding about 5s/mile on all of our splits...but bleeding in a good direction, as each split was faster than it should have been. Hit the half in about 1:25:10, and then did the second half in about 1:28:02. So running faster than we were supposed to worked out for good, as Dave "stuck" the pace, and pulled out a huge 9-minute PR or so. 2:53:12 for the official time, and we were 18th and 19th overall, beating our seeds of 37 and 38. And we were also 2nd and 3rd in the age division, which is cool. Had a lot of fun this morning, and Dave ran tough and really deserved the PR. Also enjoyed running with the big sub-3 pack, with folks including Allie, Scott, Jason Mc, Keith Anderson, and meeting other folks at various points of the race. Had a lot of support along the course from bikers and people watching the race, something that I think has improved about TOU over the years. 27 miles for the day, rounding out the week's mileage to an even 103. Will post splits tomorrow.
Here are splits: First Half: 6:26, 6:29, 12:55 (2 miles), 6:33, 6:31, 12:52 (2 miles), 12:55 (2 miles), 12:48 (2 miles), 6:48 (1:25:10 for half marathon) Second Half: 6:16, 6:13, 6:27, 6:23, 6:32, 7:00, 7:03 (2:10:18 for 20 miles), 6:38, 7:05, 7:00, 6:43, 7:15, 6:56, 1:15.
