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 Budweiser Biergarten Run with Mike. This was a fun run/walk/bike that went from Old Town out to the Budweiser plant northeast of town, and a fund raiser for United Way. It was an untimed event, so doesn't count as a race report. :-)

Mike and I did about 7 miles before the "race", and then the race itself was 6.5 miles according to my garmin. We did the 6.5 miles in 38:00, so averaged just a little under 6:00/mile. Kept it conversational the whole way.

Had the best pancakes ever at the post-race party.
