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

14 miles total, averaged 6:01/mile. Taper time.

Medium Workout with Mike. We went on pretty much every trail from my work, but kept having to turn around due to flooding.

Warmed up 5 miles, then did 6x1km, with 75s recovery. Pace was probably close to VO2Max

Splits were 3:03, 3:04, 3:04, 3:03, 3:04, 3:01

It was pretty warm out, and I think the heat worked us over more than anything. The last real workout is in the bag, and now just have a little 5K on Sunday, and then Duluth.

14 miles total, averaged 6:45/mile.
