Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Ran 8.3 miles in 8:01/mile, with 6 miles at around 7:45/mile with The Woodlands running group.  Started at 5:00 am with a group of 10 runners.  Kind of a small group because the Texans thought 41 degrees was cold.  I wore my shorts and singlet and was comfortable.
