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

Redstone with Mike and Craig.13.25 miles, averaged about 6:15/mile overall. It unintentionally turned into a true progression run; when I checked mile splits afterward, each successive mile was faster than the previous. We started over 7-min pace, were at 6:20 by the halfway point turnaround, and were 5:35-5:25 for the last 3 miles. So a solid workout.
