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

Long Run. Ran from my house to Fossil creek trail to Mason trail to Coventry to Kathy Fromme Prairie to Spring Canyon Park. Watched Seth's XC meet and jogged around. Then kept going east on the Spring Creek Trail and back home on the Mason Trail. Ended up being 21.5 miles. Did a couple miles up-tempo, but the rest was pretty slow. Averaged 7:29/mile overall.
