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 60 degree afternoon, ran 14.25 miles in 1:59:13 (8:22/mie).  This is my sixth consecutive day of running, and after running hard against the wind yesterday, I decided that an easy run would be good.  Ran around the loop at Two Rivers Park, then over the Two Rivers Bridge, out to the entrance of Rebsamen Gof Course, and back to the Two Rivers Loop.

I wasn't going to run today, but I got home a little earlier than normal.  The weather was 68 degrees with no wind, so I ran 4 miles from my house up Rauling Road and back.  That's all I could do before it got too dark to run safely on the road.  Started running up Rauling Road at 8:38 and 8:22 for miles 1 and 2.  Then ran mile 3 at 7:04 and mile 4 at 7:18.

Ran most of the last 17 miles of the Little Rock Marathon course with Wesley.  Those are the hilliest 17 miles of the marathon course including the 2 mile run up Kavanaugh.  Ran the 17 miles in 2:20:24 (8:15/mile)  Started slow in downtown Little Rock, but ran the last 10 miles at an average pace of 8:03/mile.  Significant negative split.
