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

I posted on the forum as well, but I am looking for a double jogging stroller (ie - for two kids). There's a few on eBay, but I thought I'd try the friendly people of the fastrunningblog first...is anyone looking to get rid of one?

Ran the first 7 miles of the Horsetooth Half Marathon course (elevation profile is here). Ran a few miles at race pace, the hardest effort I've done since the Trials. This course is tough. The first two miles have almost 500' of elevation gain, and then a lot of steep downhill, with more uphills mixed in. I ran out to the base of Bingham Hill before it was time to turn around. Going back was even harder, but I took it pretty easy. Splits for the first half of the run were 6:45, 6:54, 5:28, 5:36, 5:46, 4:55, 5:04. 7 miles in 40:27, about 5:46/mile. I think I will be hard-pressed to break 1:12 on this course, but I've got 6 weeks to work the hills a bit more. Ended up averaging 6:38 for the entire 14-mile run.
