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

| 13.5 miles, 6:40/mile average. Did some faster running in the middle, but it was too cold for me to really get going, plus I think I'm still feeling some effects of the move. Ran Fossil Creek Trail to Mason Trail to Spring Creek Trail to Power Trail, back home. Nice loop. |

| Ran through the Troutman Park area, then on Harmony to Shields, south to Tribley, then back on College. Lot of busy roads on this run, but it's good to explore the area. Averaged 6:58/mile for 11.5 miles. I wanted to do a morning run too, but Zoe was up half the night, and I ended up sleeping in. Still trying to find my groove with a new schedule and new setting. |

AM - Power Trail in the dark. I think I'd rather run in the dark and cold than on the treadmill...Plus it's nice that Fort Collins clears all of the their paved trails after a snowfall; they are better than many roads. 6 miles, averaged 7:40/mile.
PM - Power Trail north to Spring Creek Trail and Poudre River Trail. 10 miles, averaged 7:02/mile.

| Did a big workout today. Ran from work, and hopped on the Power Trail, north to Spring Creek Trail, and then west. From there, did a 4-3-2-1 workout at MP, 3-minute recovery jog between sets. The trail had a lot of twists and turns, plus a couple icy spots, but in general I was able to keep a good paces. Splits were (5:30, 5:31, 5:30, 5:25), (5:20, 5:23, 5:23), (5:28, 5:28), (5:27). Certainly not a world-beater workout in any measure, but it was good to do a "real" workout again, and I don't feel too much off where I need to be. Cooled down a couple miles, and ended up with 16.25 miles for the run. Averaged 6:04/mile. On another note, I surpassed my 2010 mileage today. Not sure if I'll get my all-time mileage high from 2007, but it will be close. Not bad considering that I haven't completed a 100-mile all year, it's been more about slow and steady.

| Long run. Ran from our apartment to Fossil Creek Trail to Mason Trail, to Spring Creek Trail, out to the foothills, and back. Averaged 6:48/mile. Nice day, ran in shorts. This was my first 100-mile week since October of last. Just have to do 3 more of them, and I'll feel pretty good about trials...
