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 10.7 miles in 80:02 (7:29/mile) on a cloudy afternoon at Scott Field with temps around 73 degrees and a moderate 6 - 12 mph wind from the southwest.  Ran 5x800 m repeats with 400 m recovery intervals.  The 800 m repeats were at 3:12, 3:15, 3:13, 3:15 and 3:17.  Then ran miles 9 and 10 at 7:09/mile. Some Catholic HS track team members were running a ladder work out from 200 to 800 m, and their coach made some suggestions to improve my 800 m times.

Ran 7.4 miles on nice 60 degree evening around the track at Catholic HS.  Averaged 7:24/mile for the 7.4 miles, with miles 3 through 6 at a 7:06/mile pace.  For miles 3 through 6, ran 2x1000m repeats at around 4:00 minutes each, and walked a 220 between them.  Ran that with runners in Bill Torrey's group.  Then ran 2x600m in 2:22 and 2:24 with a slow 400m recovery interval.  Then ran 600 m of recovery with Steve P at approximately a 8:40/mile pace, and finished the last cool-down mile at 7:24 after Steve had finished.

On a beautiful morning, ran 13 miles around Two Rivers Park and over to the Big Dam Bridge in 1:47 (8:15/mile).  Treated this a something of a recovery run after several fast runs earlier this week.
