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

My body woke up today feeling good, so I decided to take the cue and go for a run. I figure, run when I am able. Did 4 miles on the Planet Walk, averaged 6:55/mile.

Met Cody and ran the Landfill Loop (5.5 miles) in the heat of the day. Cody insisted on pushing the pace, despite my crying and pleas for mercy. Did a 6:56, then a 6:38, then a 6:25, and was on pace for a 6:15 before Cody finally listened to reason and let up on me. Ended up with 6:49/mile average.

Drove up Blacksmith Fork and met Jon (who started at Hollow Rd) at Lefthand Fork. We ran down Blacksmith Fork back to Jon's car at the start of Hollow Rd, about 8.3 miles. So we had the downhill and a bit of tailwind in spots too. I wanted to push a little bit, and accomplished that; pretty tired at the end. 6:40, 6:18, 6:10, 6:07, 5:53, 5:59, 6:09, 6:11 (6:12/mile average for the whole run). It was a beautiful morning, and a bit chilly for July. I quite enjoyed it.
