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

Biked to gym, and did 4-mile run into Providence and back. Pace was slow, but felt good. Afterwards, I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and lifted and stretched.

Ran to LHS rec fields and did 2 miles worth of loops in the grass; averaged about 7:15/mile pace. Did 4x200m barefoot strides (36, 36, 35, 34). So slightly faster than last Sunday. Jogged home for cooldown. Stretched and theraband exercises in evening at home.

Ran a block with the dog, then ran out to paved river trail out to the Golden Mile point, and back home, for total distance of about 4 miles. Golden Mile splits for 6:29 and 6:25, so right around 7:05 mile pace. Biked to gym after that and did 20 minutes on elliptical, lifted, and stretched.

Ran around block with dog, then ran out to LHS rec fields and did 2 miles of grass loops (7:10 and 7:00 mile splits). Did 4x200m barefoot strides (36, 35, 35, 33). I wanted to GPS the stride field, but couldn't find my GPS... Sasha, do you still have it from Wasatch Back?

Ran to end of single track and back on Logan Canyon River Trail. Pace was pretty slow, but felt good. Ran with Jon, James, and also with Cody for the first time. It has literally been MONTHS since I've run with other people, so it was very nice. I've missed the social aspect of running more than training and racing. Many of the friends I've met throughout my life have been through running. So I'm quite happy that I've built up to running distances where I can running socially again. After the run, I biked out to the gym to lift weights and stretch. A good morning. 20 miles running for the week; will do 23 next week. Let the slow build-up continue! edit: added a mile in the evening, as I didn't have a car available and ran to a restaurant to meet a friend.
