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

Big Workout, last one before TOU. Warmed up for 2 miles, and then did 6x1-mile with 2:00 recovery jog, on the Bear River Ranch out-and-back. Splits were 5:13, 5:07, 5:04, 5:05, 5:02, 4:51. Then 5-mile cooldown. Very positive workout. Averaged 6:25/mile for 14 miles.

Drove up to Left Hand Fork, and then ran up Blacksmith Fork to near the TOU start, and back. 14 miles total, averaged about 6:05/mile. The uphill felt great, but the downhill part not-so-much. I kind of wish the marathon ran backward, up the canyon.
