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

Workout with Mike. We did a "neuromuscular workout" (according to Mike). 30 minutes continuous with 45s at 5K pace followed by 2:15 at about 5:50/mile pace...repeated 10 times. Kind of hard, because you don't get any easy recovery, but I got used to as the workout went on, and it wasn't too bad. We were about 4:55-pace on the 45s parts, and 5:45-5:50 on the slow tempo portions. 12 miles total, averaged 6:24/mile.
