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

Ready lacking motivation to run in the rain. Dropped the car off to get a safety inspection and managed to get 6.25 miles before I was sick of it, then picked up the car. Averaged 6:45/mile.

I'm getting Lasik surgery this afternoon, so no running the rest of the week, as I recover. So I did my long run this morning. 19.75 miles, ran out to the Logan River trail, up to the start of the single-track, and back. Beautiful day, but the last 3 miles was a death-march. I really needed that run though.6:37/mile average pace.
