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 12 miles on the Hot Springs Creek trail from Strawberry Park to a dirt road and back to Strawberry Park on a beautiful afternoon near Steamboat Springs, Colorado with temperatures in the mid-70s and very low humidity.  What break from Arkansas.  This seemed like heaven, and then I got to soak for nearly 6 hours in natural hot springs with my twin brother Larry and my brother Al who I only get to see once or twice per year.

Travelled over 200 miles from Steamboat Springs to Frederick, Colorado and then met with my brother's family before running 7.5 miles in 61 minutes.  Ran approximiately 0.3 miles of that through corn fields in Dacono, Co before reaching County Road 13 where it was rolling hills at 7:45 per mile.  It was a beautiful 65 degree evening with low humidity, and I would have run farther had I started earlier in the evening.

Ran 9.25 miles from my brother Al's house to LoneTree Reservoir and back, taking a detour to the Grasslands Subdivision.  It was another beautiful early evening for running in Northern Colorado.
