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

Decently warm this morning, misting. I ran out to USU campus and back, and did a 7x3-minute fartlek during the first half, with 90 seconds recovery jog between intervals. The workout portion went well, but the last 5 miles of the cooldown was a death march for some reason, maybe fueling.

The faster splits were net downhill or flat. The slower splits were net uphill. #4 was the biggest uphill. 6:32/mile average for 15 miles.
