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

Bacon Strip loop, plus some extra distance, for 16 miles total. Was hoping for some faster-paced running, but it was already 70 degrees by 6:30, and 80 degrees by the time I finished, so the quality just wasn't there today. Kind if a deathmarchm actually. 16 miles, averaged 6:50/mile.

Cody and I gave a ride to a lady in Silverton last weekend (last name Pachev- head of CO LDR?) who started talking about a 2:17 marathoner who just moved from Utah to the Fort- sure enough, talking about you. Small world. She told us you were running 2 of her races, one in Ouray, and then proceeded to spend 10 minutes trying to convince me to try out for the US World Champ 100k or 24 hr team. We told her you would be much faster, although neither of us thought there was any way you would ever do a 100k or 24 hr race.

Monologue over. Just a random story.

Nice. Yes, must have been Tania Pacev. I haven't met here yet, but she seems super-nice, and has been very helpful over email.

Yup, that was her name. Very nice, indeed- talks fast and non-stop.

Good luck at your races coming up.
