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 Poudre Trail out to Woodward and back. Did about 5 miles of MP tempo on the way back, although I forgot my garmin so didn't know the pace.

Camped in Rocky Mountain National Park last night. In the morning, Mike and I did some random loop that mixed road and trail. Ended up being just short of 10 miles.
