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 30.3 miles in 5:36 (11:06/mile) with Cliff near Lake Winona west of Little Rock.  Ran three loops of the "corkscrew", which is a route on forest service roads with some pretty serious hills.  It was a cool for August morning with temps in the mid-60s to start the run.  Wesley ran with us for the first 20+ miles (two loops), which we finished in approximately 3:40.

Overall, we ran 11 miles under 10 min/mile.  The sun came out during the third loop and that slowed us down a little. But fortunately, the about 70% of the third loop had some shade.

It was great to run with Wesley, who is running strong and is ready for his 100 mile run next week.  After Wesley left, Cliff and I both said we hope Wesley has a chance to join us in a couple more runs maybe in September.  Cliff and I ran the last mile at a 9:08 pace and felt like we could have run another loop, but it would have been ugly slow.
