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

Horsetooth Half route, plus some miles on the Poudre Trail. Today's workout was a sort of fartlek...hard up the hills, easy on the rest. Then on the last 5 miles on Overland Trl, I did a bit of tinman tempo, averaged about 6:00/mile for those last 5 miles. Was good to get in 18 miles without a bonk. Averaged 6:35/mile overall for the run.
