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

Anaheim, CA for work. I miss Colorado, this place is not that great. Santa Ana River Trail, 12 miles total. Total hellhole. Ran brisk for about 8 miles. Averaged 6:29/mile overall. Can't wait to get home.

Workout. Did 6x1-mile, with 2-min recoveries. Power Trail to Spring Creek Trail.

First 2 were into the wind, last 4 with the wind.

Splits were 5:35, 5:35, 5:19, 5:20, 5:13, 5:20.

Not a great workout, but I'll have to live with it. Travel is hard on training.
