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) Favorite Blogs: |

| Ran 7.8 miles on the TM in around 61 minutes. Just ran out of time during lunch. Quads are a little sore, but overall felt and ran pretty good for having run 25.5 miles on Sat.

| After driving from the A-Kon convention in Dallas to Little Rock, through severe thunderstorms and road construction that stopped traffic on I-30 for almost an hour, arrived in Little Rock at 5:50 p.m.. West Little Rock has severe rain and wind on Friday afternoon, and we lost several branches from the oak trees in our front yard that I had to move. By 6:15, I was on the Two River Trail on a relative "cool" summer evening (only 73 degrees by high humidity). Ran 8.15 miles in 62:39, with the first mile in 8:16 and after that an average pace of 7:36/mile.

| On a "cool" 79 degree summer evening, ran speed work at CHS. Ran 6.5 miles at a 6:52/mile pace, including 8x600 m repeats with 200 m walking intervals that are not included in the mileage. Ran a 2-mile warm-up, with the second warm-up mile in 7:12. Ran the 3 miles of 600 m repeats at a 6:13/mile pace. Ran a 1.5 mile cool-down at 7:30/mile. Overall, felt pretty good for my 56th birthday.

| Ran 9 miles in 67:55 on the TM. Ran mile 1 at 8:22, mile 2 at 7:54, and miles 3 though 9 at an average pace of 7:23/mile. Not quite threshold miles, but much faster than marathon miles. Afterwards, walked 0.2 miles to bring down my heart rate.

| Don't usually list walking, but was on vacation walking around Lower Manhattan. Went to the DSW Warehouse at Union Square for a new pair of running shoes for my daughter Brianna, and took the Tuesday night 9/11 Memorial Museum tour, which is free for people who obtain reserve tickets and for others based on availability. The 9/11 Memorial Museum just opened about a month ago and was very interesting, I a took some great photos.

| Walked around Liberty Park and through Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Then took the high-speed train and subway and walked up to 51st & Broadway in Manhattan to see Wicked at the Gershwin Theater. Walked to the subway and took the subway and train back to New Jersey.
Wicked is celebrating its 10th year on Broadway, and was a great performance.

| Took the ferry from Liberty Park to Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. Then walked around Lower Manhattan and took the subway from the WTC to Penn Station. From there, we walked to the Empire State Building and went up to the 102nd floor observation tower. Then back to Liberty Park via the subway and ferry.

| Woke up at 4:00 am to meet some friends and run 6 easy miles around the subdivisions of The Woodlands. Ran the first mile at around 9 mins, then averaged 8:15/mile for the next 5 miles. I could have run much faster, but the friends I was running with were sore from speed work and triathelon training earlier this week.

| On a rainy afternoon, ran 10.8 miles on the TM in 83:28 (7:44/mile). Ran the first two miles in 16:52 (8:26/mile), then progressively improved the pace to 6:58 in the last 0.8 miles. Ran the last 7.8 miles at a 7:31/mile pace. Due to my vacation, I've lost a few seconds in my pace but my legs feel pretty strong.

| Ran 3 miles around the loop at Two Rivers Park with Hershey, who ran most of the time off her leash. I only used her leash when we were passing other dogs. On a beautiful summer morning with temps in the mid-70's, all Hershey could run was 3-miles. Then took Hershey home, and went to the Two Rivers Bridges to run another 5.5 miles at 8:15/mile. This was something of a recovery run from a pretty hard run on the TM yesterday. Also, this was my 4th consecutive day of running and I plan to run on the OT with Steve tomorrow.

| Ran 6.5 miles on the TM in 46:35 (7:16/mile). Ran the first mile in 8 mins. Then ran 4-miles in 27:50 (6:58/mile). I could have run faster or longer, but wanted to taper a bit in advance of a Run for Freedom 10K on Friday in Lenexa, KS. My legs have loosened up and I felt pretty good today.
