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 9 miles along the north shore of the Arkansas River on a cool 72 degree morning.  Ran the first mile in 8:36 and average 7:48 per mile for miles 2 through 9.  It was a good run considering I was using an old pair of Saucony Cortana shoes that should have been retired.  I probably have close to 500 miles on those shoes.

Ran 10.1 miles in 74:30.  Ran the first 6.1 miles in 45:00 with Steve along the north side of the Arkansas River on a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the low-70's and the dew point of 66 degrees.  Averaged 7:13 per mile from mile 2 through mile 5, with mile 5 being the fastest at 7:07.  After running with Steve, went to the gym, put on a pair of dry running shoes and ran 4 more miles on the TM in 29:30.

Ran 10

miles on the Maumelle (west) side of Two Rivers before it started to rain.  This was an easy run at an average 8:15 pace on a warm 82 degree morning with high humidity.  There were a lot of bikers this morning. The Two Rivers Park trail is getting crowded on the weekends.
