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 10.2 miles, mostly easy, with Steve along Pinnacle Valley Road.  Finished with the last 1.2 miles at 7:10/mile for mile 10, and 6:44.mile for the last .2 miles.  Thought a little speed would help stretch Steve's muscles and get him running a little smoother.  We stretched afterwards.  Steve has three more weeks of Tulane Alumni football in New Orleans, then he can refocus on getting his running times back.

Ran 2 miles with Hershey around the neighborhood at slow 12 min/mile pace.  It was Hershey's first time this Fall running with me on roads, which is hard on her canine paws.

Ran 16 miles around Two Rivers Park and along the south side of the Arkansas River Trail in 2:17:00 (8:34/mile).  Ran two miles with a CHS Tennis Player and his runner Mom at around 9:00/mile.  It was nice to meet them and the teenager boys mother was the better runner.  She had run the Boston Marathon in 2005.
