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)

On a nice 74 degree afternoon that felt warmer because of strong UV rays ran 10 miles around Scott Field in 71:20. Ran 2 wam-up miles at 7:45 and 7:20, then ran 6 miles at 6:53/mile, then ran a 2-mile cool-down at 7:15 and 7:40.  Every two miles, I stopped for 20-30 seconds to drink Gatorade and rest from the heat.  I think my new 10K pace is probably around  a 6:50/mile pace.  I'm thinking of registering for one soon to find out.

On a nice 83 degree evening, ran repeats at Catholic HS.  Ran 2 1200 m repeats at 4:42 and 4:38. I took yesterday off and the weather was much cooler than most evenings, so the combination helped me run fast tonight.  Ran 2 800 m repeats at 2:59 and 3:04.  Ran 2 400 m repeats at 86 and 88 seconds.  With a 2-mile warm-up and a 2-mile cool down.

Ran 10 miles in 78 minutes on the TM.  Ran the 9th mile in 6:49.  Felt good but ran out of time and had to get to a conference call.  In general, these were much easier miles than I've been running.
