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 10 miles on the TM in 78:10 (7:49/mile) by running 2 mile intervals at 7:35 -7:41 (faster intervals) and 7:53 - 8:00 (slower intervals).  My sprained foot was pretty sore after 10 miles.  After10 miles, ran .2 miles at an 8:34/mile pace to cool down.  I will try to run further tomorrow but at a slower pace so I can run heal to toe and with mid-foot plants.

Ran 11.3 miles on the north side of Arkansas River Trail in 1:34:20 (8:21/mile).  It was a sunny afternoon with temps in the high-50's and with a 20 mph wind from the northwest.  Averaged 8 minutes/mile going east and 8:40 per mile going west.  Had a high calf cramp that slowed me down when I was running to the west (second half of run).
