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 home for lunch. 10 miles. Had some steam to blow off, so pace ended up a little quicker than usual, about 6:30/mile. In other news, by original Kinvaras turned over 1500 miles. I feel like they are now nicely broken in.

Ran early morning to avoid some schedule conflicts and pending bad weather. Ran the Power Trail to Spring Creek Trail to Mason Trail to Fossil Creek Trail loop. 16.5 miles total. Did 4-3-2-1 mp tempo workoutm with 1 minute recovery for each mile of the respective interval set. pace was pretty slow, I think due to the dark and my nervous system being half asleep, especially at the beginning. Splits were (6:06, 6:12, 6:14, 5:58), (5:47, 5:42, 5:43), (5:36, 5:41), (5:29). Averaged 6:26/mile overall.
