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)

On a beautiful morning, warmed up at Scott Field for 3.5 miles, then ran with Wesley who ran to the track from his house.  Ran an additional half mile warm-up with Wesley, then ran (5) 800m repeats with 800m recovery intervals.  Wesley ran very strong finishing 6 800m repeats, each in under 3 minutes.  I held back slightly since I ran pretty hard yesterday and have run almost 66 miles in the last week.  So I ran the 800m repeats in 3:16, 3:12, 3:13, 3;14, and 3:20.  I mentioned to Wesley that he was very consistent at between 2:54 and 2:56 for his 800m repeats.  Also, congrats to Wesley's dad Mark who ran a serious sub-7:00 pace in a 5K in Hot Springs this last weekend.  Mark has overcome some nagging injuries, and I hope he is feeling better and continues to run.  Wish Mark was in LR some more so we could run together.

Ran a total of 12 miles in 1:30:12 (7:31/mile).

Good, efficient speek workout, Dave, and thanks for the kind words about Dad as well. You are also running very strong after bouncing back extremely quickly from surgery!
