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

Did a workout today. Ran up Smithfield Canyon at a brisk pace (6:30-6:40/mile), then did 2x2-mile with 2-minutes recovery coming back on the downhill. Hit 9:38 (4:55, 4:43) and 9:27 (4:45, 4:42) for the splits. Good workout, lots of good downhill pounding. 14 miles total, averaged 6:22/mile.

Long run. Ran the new Smithfield "Not Yo Mama's" Half Marathon course. As advertised, it is very hard, lot of hills, not your traditional Utah half marathon where you just shoot people straight down a canyon. Should be a fun race (in July). With some extra miles, ended up with 20.25 miles, averaged 6:18/mile for the run.
