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

We camped with friends near Red Feather Lakes last night, which was a good staging area for a Saturday morning long run. I woke up at 5:30am, and decided to head out a little early. It was a beautiful morning, and I ran Manhatten Rd up to Red Feather Rd, to Deadman Rd. Once I got to Deadman Rd, it was all dirt, and all uphill, starting at about 8400' and peaking at 9600' a little before my turnaround. Was averaging about 7:30/mile for the first uphill 9 miles, and then hit about 5:45-6:00 for most of the way back, until I got back to Manhatten Rd and had to deal with a few long uphills that sucked the juice out of my legs. Ended up with 18 miles total, and averaged 6:58/mile. It was a good run for getting both some vertical and some altitude, both which I really need to train for before my next race. And it was beatiful scenery, good solitude.
