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 brisk, sunny morning, ran 7.5 miles with Joe at an average pace of 8:40/mile around the Two Rivers Park and part of the way towards the Big Dam Bridge.  Joe was getting text message updates on Jacob Wells, who had a heart attack at mile 20 in the Mid-South Marathon, after completing the first half in around 1:35:00.  Then took a two hour nap and went to LA Fitness where I ran 10 miles in 77:20 (7:44/mile) on the TM, with the last 7 miles in 52:20.  Finished with a 0.1 mile cool down.
