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

Camped near Red Feather Lakes last night, and then Mike and I ran Deadman Rd this morning. Did 20 miles, and averaged 7:15/mile. I felt pretty sluggish on the long uphills, but perhaps to be expected for 9500' elevation. First 20-miler in quite some time, perhaps since December 2011. And it feels like it.
