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

Workout. Power Trail to Poudre Trail. Warmed up 3 miles, then did 8x1km, with 60s recovery.

Splits were 3:14, 3:12, 3:12, 3:13, 3:14, 3:12, 3:07, 3:08.

3-mile cooldown. 12 miles total, averaged 6:26/mile.

Felt decent, but it's definitely an early-season workout.
