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

Ran entire Valley Trail at Teton National Park (plus some extra on the roads to Jenny Lake). This was a spectacular but grueling trail run. I would like to do it again sometime. Ave HR 155

Twin Creek to Tony Grove to Blind Hollow trail loop. This was a great, but difficult trail run, with several thousand feet of climb and descent. Will loose toenails from this. Ave HR 151

Draper Days 5-k. 15:52 - 15 seconds slower than last year. Initial splits were almost identical to last year, except this year I did not kick at all the last half mile, and I think that's were that 15 seconds come from. Not a bad effort, but a little disappointed.

Mile splits/Ave HR

4:39/170

5:15/186

5:57/189 - last 1.1, 5:24 average

I need to run my 5k's more even.
