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

Kinda-sorta Big Workout today. Ran the Saddleback route, with a long tinman tempo planned. First half went okay, averaging under 6:00/mile, but then I started having some GI issues, which messed over my last 5 or 6 miles. Oh well. Averaged 6:25/mile for 15 miles.

Big Workout, albeit not a very good one. Legs were sore and tired coming into it, just adjusting to the miles, so I didn't push the issue. Did an out and back to USU campus, with 5x4-minute fartlek in the middle, 2-minute recovery between. Pace was pretty slow, around 5:30 / mile on average.

Long run, Blacksmith Fork Canyon. 22 miles, averaged 6:46/mile. Pretty much the same pace on both uphill and back down.
