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 the Route 66 Marathon and the detour to run past and around the Center of the Universe metal sculpture in downtown Tulsa.  Had a great time and met a lot of nice people.  Route 66 is a fun marathon, although the weather can be cold and windy.  I did not run this for time, just a fun marathon.  I wore my first and fairly new pair of Hokas and haven't quite gotten use to running in them.  It seems easy to drag your feet with Hokas and that probably led me to trip over a pothole patch at mile 12 which caused me to do a knee and shoulder plant onto the asphalt.  After that, I ran a much more cautious and slower pace, finishing in 3:54:20.  I took my time on the Center of the Universe detour and stopped by the artwork to hear the echoes, which were faint due to the wind. 

This is a fun community event for Tulsa, and I strongly recommend it.  Hope to run it again.
