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

AM - Fossil Creek to Mason Trail. 8 miles, averaged 7:21/mile. Did a few strides on the way back.
Decided recently to bail on the Lead King 25K in Sept due to scheduling conflicts and the drive time to the race. I could have pulled it off, but it would have made for a very stressful several days for me and my family. The upside is that I can now do the Equinox Half, which is basically the first half of the Colorado Marathon, all in Poudre Canyon. $500 to the winner and $0 to second...apparently I will be running against the 2011 winner of the Bolder Boulder citizen race, also ran low 1:05:xx at RnR Vegas last year. That should give me some motivation! PM - Fossil Creek park with Zoe. 5 miles, no watch.

My garmin died as soon as I turned it on (must have left it on yesterday, as I charged it a couple days ago). So I was without pace or distance, so I just guessed a route that would give me 18 or 19 miles, which is what I wanted. Run first, ask questions later. Ended up being 19.5 miles on gmap pedometer. No idea of pace, although I tried to keep it honest for most of the run, but then it ended up being a death march the last 5 miles on Overland. Water or gu probably would have helped, since I haven't ran this long in a while, but oh well. I was incredibly thirsty by the end.
Tour De Fat is today in Fort Collins. 20,000 people dressed like fools on bicycles, waltzing around downtown all day. I passed many of them on my run, saw a lot of tutus. Needless to say, since I am a curmudgeon I will not be going, but I did buy a case of New Belgium in honor.
