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 11 miles on the TM. Ran the first 4 miles in 35:00, then ran 7 miles in 50:45, including 2 miles at 6:39/mile.

Ran the first 8 miles in Mizuno Ronin 5s, the ran the next 3.4 miles in Nike Zoom Streak 5s. Ran one threshold pace mile with the Ronin 5s, and the other with the Streaks. I'm comparing them to determine what shoes to wear for the Boston Marathon. The key differences were that the Streak causes me to plant my forefoot or mid-foot slightly more than the Ronin 5, and the Ronin 5 fits more comfortably than the Streak. The Ronin 5s enable threshold pace running slightly more naturally, but both shoes are fast. I'm leaning towards wearing the Ronin 5s.
