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)

A.M.: Ran 2.1 miles as a warm-up before the Leawood Labor Day 5K.

On a 67 degree morning after a severe thunderstorm, ran the Leawood Labor Day 5K. Apparently the starting line was set up 30 feet behind where it was supposed to be located. There were a lot of fast runners at this event. It was a nice event and I met a lot of great runners who are friends of my buddy Mike and his running dad, Mark. Ran the 5k in 20:39, placing 3rd of 19 runners in my age group and 43rd out of 277 overall.

Mike ran a strong 20:23 and finished 5th in his age group, which was a little slow since Mike usually runs his 5K events in under 20 minutes. But Mike just finished the Park City Marathon a couple of weeks ago and has been running a lot of miles. I was delighted with my 6:40/mile pace considering that I ran 9-miles around hilly Black Swan Lake yesterday on a hot Sunday morning.

P.M.: Ran 8.3 miles with 7 laps around Black Swan Lake and an out and back to the lake from the in-laws house on a nice 84 degree Monday afternoon.
