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 12 miles in 93 minutes (7:45/mile) on the TM at LA Fitness.  No cool-down due to lack of time.  Ran miles 6 - 8 at a 7:19/mile pace.  Felt pretty strong, and seem to be recoveriing.  But still not ready to run sub-7:00 miles.

Ran 8 easy miles in 67:36 on the TM at LA Fitness.  Since I averaged an 8:27/mile pace, which is a BQ pace, I listed these as marathon pace miles.  Followed with a 0.2 mile cool down.
