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

Long run. Start from my house, then went Trilby to Shields to Kathy Fromme Praire. Met up with Mike at his house at Mile 6, then continued with Mike along the Spring Creek Trail to Power Trail, and then back home. 20 miles total, averaged 7:15/mile. It was snowing the whole time, but a nice temperature (about 30 degrees), no wind, and the snow was nice and soft and grippy to run on. Good run.
