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

Ogden NUTS series 10-k. 35:23. Again, I tried to take it easy the first part of the race and then picked it up to "race" effort the last half. The first half of the race was generally uphill and the second half generally downhill, condusive to slow times but a negative split. I passed a few people on the 2nd half and moved into a duel for 2nd place with Jed Johansen. Like the 5-k, though, I ran out of gas during the long, slightly uphill finish, and was outkicked by Jed this time around. I think a lot of this is mental, and I'm having problems getting into racing again. Still, an overall good effort, and I was happy to move up a place in the series.

Mile Splits/Ave HR

6:02/179 - uphill start, slow

5:51/182 - uphill/flat, still slow

6:07/185 - shaping up to be a very slow time...

5:29/186 - that's better, downhill

5:28/188 - rolling

5:20/190

1:05/190 - last 0.24, must be a little short, 'cause I died
