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 7 easy miles out at Lake Syliva with our Black Lab Hershey.  It was all for slow switching muscles, but Hershey ran as fast as she could and gave her best effort.

Ran 16.61 miles with Wesley along the Little Rock Marathon course in 2:11:53 (7:5/mile).  It was a beautiful day with temps in the high-40s and a modest 6-10 mph wind from the south.  Ran the first 4-miles each between 7:52 and 7:58 (consistent), ran up Markham and Kavanaugh (3.1 miles) at approximately an 8:20/mile pace, then ran the last 9.5 miles at a 7:50/mile pace.  I felt strong at the end and we ran the last .5 miles at a 7:31/mile pace.
