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)

The pace was easy but the effort hard as Steve and I ran 14 miles on the OT from Spillway Road to the service road and back in 3:33:00. The first 7 miles were pretty strong, but the second 7-miles were hard due to temps in the mid-80s and high humidity.

In a week where work has interfered with running, today I only ran 7.9 miles because I need to be strong for Heart of the Traveler this weekend. Ran 7.9 miles at an average 7:35/mile pace on the TM, followed by a .2 mile cool down. Ran the last 6.4 miles at 7:25/mile. Feel good for a couple of long trail runs over the 3-day weekend on hot and humid weather.

Also, saw Wesley running on the TM and he is close to fully recovered from the Leadville 100. Wesley was running strong, looked like some fast intervals.

Ran the first run in Heart of the Traveler. Ran from Lake Winona to Rocky Gap to E-Tower to FSR 132-C and back in 5:06:00 (12:37/mile). It was a hot and humid morning for a long run.
