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 the Corporate Cup 5k in 76 degree weather with a gun time of 21:39 (6:59/mile).  My Garmin showed that the course was 3.2 miles.  The course was changed this year and I think it may be a little longer than it should be.  Entergy won the Corporate Cup Challenge and three of the four Entergy team members took 1st place in our age groups.  There were approximately 200 participants.

I warmed up at the gym for 2 miles and then ran 1.7 miles with Mark Hunt.  After the race, I walked .8 miles as a cool down.
