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 17 mile near Lake Sylvia by running the "Figure 8".  Parked about 4 miles up Brown's Creek Road.  From the location of the Arkansas Traveller 100 Brown's Creek Road aid station where the Ouachita Trail crosses the road, ran for about 2.4 miles to the Flatside Pinnacle aid station location.  Then took a right onto the OT running back to the cars.  Refilled water and continued on the OT to the Lake Sylvia trailhead. Ran a total of 8-miles on the OT.  Then ran down Hwy 324 to Brown's Creek Road and up to the cars.

We weren't trying to run for time.  About 1/4 of this OT section has been bushwacked.  The remainder of the trail has not been cleaned up, so there are several downed trees and other tripping hazards on the trail.  We joked that Hal Koerner may not be happy with the condition of the trail.

Average 12:53/mile, but ran the OT with Ronnie Daniels and Chris Baldwin at a pretty good pace considering the conditions.
