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 6.2 miles on the TM, including the last 1.2 miles at about a 7:08 pace when the tread rolled, caught the heel of my left shoe and I tripped face-first onto the tread.  My face looks worse than it feels.  But will rest a day and let my head heel before running again.

Ran 10 miles at noon with Wesley on a beautify day along the north side of the Arkansas River.  Neither Wesley or I wore our Garmins, but we think two or three of the miles may have been around 7:00/mile or a little faster.  Overall, our pace was in the low-7's, which was really strong for Wesley considering he ran very fast yesterday.

 

Also, I stayed up to watch the AMAZING Royals beat the Giants.  I lived in KC for three years and met my wife there.  Still go there 3-5 times per year.  It's long overdue for the Royals to shine!

Ran 12.5 miles in 103 minutes on the TM.  Just an easy run to recover from pushing fairly hard yesterday with Wesley.
