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 cold wet day, drove through the wintry mix to the gym, and ran 10 miles on the TM in 80:56.  Ran the first mile in 8:33 and ran the next 9 miles at an average pace of about 8:03/mile.  Wore my new Nike Flyknit Lunar+ shoes that seem to be great recovery run shoes.

After coughing half the night so I got little sleep, worked today and ran late this afternoon on the TM.  Ran 9.5 miles in 74:40.  First mile in 8:22.  Ran next 8 miles at 7:45/mile. Ran last .5 miles at 8:36/mile.  Felt pretty good about running, but still pretty conjested with a head cold.

With snow on the ground and sub-30 degree temps, decided to postpone my long run until tomorrow and instead ran an easy 8.3 miles at an 8;34/mile pace on the TM.
