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. Did the Power Trail to Poudre Trail. Workout was 4-3-2-1, with 4-minute, 3-minute, and 2-minute recovery, respectively.
Tempo splits were (5:26, 5:20, 5:27, 5:23), (5:18, 5:10, 5:06), (5:08, 5:16), (5:04).
Good workout, felt strong, although the 3-mile set was probably too fast. The 2nd mile in the 2-mile set was slow due to long uphill dirt segment.
16 miles total, averaged 6:04/mile.

| Big Workout. Warmed up 3 miles on Power Trail, then 10 mile MP tempo on Spring Creek Trail (west), and then 3-mile cooldown on Power Trail. Definitely a bit fatigued from the workout Tuesday, combined with the last several weeks of training, but the workout went pretty well, and I felt stronger as it went on (definitely a sign it's time to run a marathon).
Tempo splits were 5:41, 5:42, 5:29, 5:33, 5:35, 5:27, 5:18, 5:21, 5:26, 5:11.
The first half is net uphill, second half is net downhill.
16 miles total, averaged 6:11/mile.

| Ran with Mike and Craig. Parked at Blue Sky Trailhead, and then ran around Horsetooth Reservoir. Started on Bluesky, then through Lory, and then back down to the road (Centennial Dr). The trail was uber-muddy due to the snow yesterday, so the road seemed like a good option on the return trip, but the road is pretty darn hilly. I was pretty beat by the end. 18.5 miles total, averaged 7:15/mile. Time to taper.
