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

It's you and I as the only regular Colorado'ans - what gives?

Great reading your reports. Congrats on all you've accomplished this year!

Yup. And now that I've registered my cars, applied for a driver's license, and registered to vote (all last week), I'm finally a REAL Coloradoan. What are you running this year?

I ran Boston in April and am (maybe) doing the Top of Utah Marathon in September. My schedule is up in the air right now, but that is the goal -- and sprinkle in some local races throughout the next couple of months.

Top of Utah is a great race. Good luck with your training.

I've been thinking about moving to Colorado for the simple reason that the Governor used to own a brew pub. How un-Utah is that?
