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. Power Trail to Poudre Trail. Warmed up for 4 miles, then did 10x1km with 60s recoveries. Cooldown 4.5 miles, 16 miles total.
Interval splits were 3:10, 3:11, 3:06, 3:11, 3:09, 3:08, 3:04, 3:06, 3:04, 3:02.
Pretty happy with the workout. I wasn't feeling real bouncy today, still dragging a bit from racing Saturday, so its a good sign to have a strong workout with good splits despite not feeling terribly peppy. Good sign of fitness.

| am - ran in Denver before a conference. Found a great park near Denver U. that had a 2.5-mile dirt loop along the perimeter. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time for my full run, due to getting stuck in traffic earlier, so only 7.25 miles. Averaged 6:55/mile
pm - once again, got shorted on time due to work. Got 5 miles in, on the fossil Creek Trail. No watch.

| Big Workout. Did 6 laps on the dirt trail around Washington Park, in Denver. Did a progression run for the first 13 miles, and then cooled down for the remainder, with some strides.
Progression splits were 7:35, 6:54, 6:43, 6:27, 6:10, 5:55, 5:40, 5:37, 5:28, 5:22, 5:26, 5:22, 5:20.
Would have liked to have done a few more hard miles, but was running out of gas. Still, a decent workout.
16.25 miles total, averaged 6:12/mile.

| Long run. Met up with Mike and did Soapstone Prairie. There are a ton of trails of out there, and we picked some random route and ended up with about 21.5 miles. Mostly single-track dirt trails on rolling hills, elevation around 6500-7000', but we kept an honest pace. Averaged 7:04/mile for the duration. Solid week of training; only one more hard week until the taper.
