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)

After 11 days of vacation and catching-up at work, I finally got to run this evening.  Ran 7 miles in 52:30 (7:30/mile) on the TM in The Woodlands.

Woke up at 4:00 am to meet some friends and run 6 easy miles around the subdivisions of The Woodlands.  Ran the first mile at around 9 mins, then averaged 8:15/mile for the next 5 miles. I could have run much faster, but the friends I was running with were sore from speed work and triathelon training earlier this week.

On a rainy afternoon, ran 10.8 miles on the TM in 83:28 (7:44/mile).  Ran the first two miles in 16:52 (8:26/mile), then progressively improved the pace to 6:58 in the last 0.8 miles.  Ran the last 7.8 miles at a 7:31/mile pace.  Due to my vacation, I've lost a few seconds in my pace but my legs feel pretty strong.

Ran 3 miles around the loop at Two Rivers Park with Hershey, who ran most of the time off her leash.  I only used her leash when we were passing other dogs.  On a beautiful summer morning with temps in the mid-70's, all Hershey could run was 3-miles.  Then took Hershey home, and went to the Two Rivers Bridges to run another 5.5 miles at 8:15/mile.  This was something of a recovery run from a pretty hard run on the TM yesterday.  Also, this was my 4th consecutive day of running and I plan to run on the OT with Steve tomorrow.
