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. Warmed up 3 miles on the Power Trail, then went over to the Poudre River trail, and did 1-2-1-2-1 (miles) at LT pace, with 2-minute recovery. Splits were (5:10), (5:08, 5:07), (5:26, patches of snow slowed me down), (5:07, 5:09), (5:01). Felt good, and it was a beautiful day. 16 miles total, averaged 6:15/mile.

Long Run. Ran Fossil Creek to Spring Creek to Mason Trail, and back. 21 miles total, averaged 6:47/mile. Beautiful day, as usual.

114 miles for the week, a lifetime high. I think my previous high was 107 from a year ago. I will try to hit 120 next week, and then start backing off. Feeling good, aside from trying to ward off a cold with massive amounts of Emergen-C (all of my family has been sick this week).
