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 23 miles with Chris and several other friends from Lake Sylvia to Lake Winona and back along part of the Traveler 100 course.  Averaged only 10:51/mile on the trails because Chris and I had to hold up for the other two runners.  It was a lot of fun, and Chris and I ran together for about 7 miles at 9:15/mile and then waited up for about 10 minutes for the other runners.

On a beautiful afternoon (72 degrees, little wind, sunny skies), ran the back half of the LR Marathon course in 105 minutes (8:05/mile).  Ran the first 6-miles at an 8:20/mile pace, and the final 7-miles at a 7:45/mile pace.  Finished with a .2 mile walk around the Simmons Tower Buidling.
