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 - ran the dog around the block. Didn't feel much pain.

PM - went out to the LHS grass fields to run some laps. However, the shin started getting some pain early on, so I bailed and jogged out to the gym, did 30 minutes elliptical, then jogged back home.

Ran the the gym, then did 45 minutes elliptical (with 5x4-minute "fartlek"), and 15 minutes arc trainer. Ran home. The shin feels a bit better while running today, although I kept it very short and mostly on grass. Still, at least it's not getting any worse.

took it easy today and did some running in the grass. I tried some barefoot running and it didn't feel any worse than running with shoes. Did about 6x200m strides, and it was nice to open up a little bit. I wish the whole half marathon is on grass, rather than evil blacktop. But even with the grass, my shin gets sore pretty sick. Hence, the 1.5 miles.

In Moab. No running. We drove up Hwy 128, scoped out the race course, and enjoyed the beauty of Castle Valley. We drove up a little BLM road to a trailhead, hiked around a little, but not much.
