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

| Did 14 miles with an 8-mile tinman tempo in the middle. Route was same as yesterday. Tempo pace was around 5:55-6:00/mile. (6:30/mile average for entire run). Hip got pretty sore by the middle, which I'll attribute to the faster pace.
Well, that's it for 2013 running. Pretty good year. Highlights include:
- Lifetime best mileage (3829 miles)
- Non-aided marathon PR (2:19:47)
- Non-aided half marathon PR (1:06:09)
- Road 5K PR & altitude 5K PR (15:11)
- Non-aided altitude 10K PR (31:32)
- 4-mile PR (20:05)
- Most races since 2007 (11 races)
- 1st December race ever. (okay, now I'm reaching a bit for highlights, but at the same time it's kind of interesting after 20+ years of running)

| Cottonwood Plains Loop. 6.25 miles, no watch. Planned on doing a second run in the afternoon, but then just didn't feel like it after my big burrito for lunch. Houston will not be pretty.
Hip regressed during the workout yesterday, but was stable for most of today's run.

| Power Trail to Poudre Trail north. Warmed up 6 miles, and then did 7 miles at somewhat of an MP tempo. Splits were 6:14, 5:52, 5:41, 5:36, 5:51, 5:43, 5:45.
Hip still sore, but better than the last 3 days, and probably the best workout I've had since it flared up.
13 miles total, averaged 6:20/mile.

| Snowed last night and this morning, and then a neighbor came over to help install a remote start to our van. So I didn't get out to run until late afternoon, and only did 5 miles, which is well and good. Fossil Creek Park, no watch.
