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

Ran Smithfield Canyon this morning. 14 miles. It was a beautiful morning, lots of fall colors and a nice temperature. The workout was brisk, but slower than MP. Averaged 6:30-6:40/mile on the 7-mile uphill stretch, and then about 5:40/mile on the downhill. Felt pretty good and snappy. 6:16/mile for the entire run.

Thus ends my "easy" week. Big Week starts tomorrow.
