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

Solo trail run from Green Canyon parking lot, up the Birdeneau Trail, along the ridge to Birdeneau Peak, over to Mt. Elmer, along the Seven Sisters ridge, and on in to Tony Grove parking lot. 6200 feet of total elevation gain, 3800 feet of total elevation loss. Ave HR 161

I've been wanting to do this run for a long time and finally got the chance because a friend of mine had his car at Tony Grove (we actually went backpacking afterward). This route has thousands of feet of brutal climbs and descents, but amazing views and well worth the lost toenails. My Montrail Hardrocks were a bit mangled by the end, something I thought not possible. Hit a few snow patches I had to traverse carefully across, surprising for mid-July. I actually ran out of water with a few miles left, but I was in known territory and close to Tony Grove by that point. Still a good reminder to bring more water next time.
