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 The Human Race 5K this morning. Had a very nice day...upper 60s and overcast, no wind. I took 2nd to James, who had a nice PR of 15:25. He surged ahead at the 1 mile mark and did a big negative split; I didn't try to go with him. I ran a small negative split (5:04, 5:04, 5:00), and was pretty happy with the overall time (15:36) and effort, given my lack of training since Duluth.
