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 with Wesley at 12:40 p.m. - 1:48 p.m. for 8-miles north of the Arkansas River in approximately 90 degree weather with the dew point at 65. I'm amazed at the condition Wesley is in. In extreme heat, Wesley can run as fast as ever and without a water bottle. We started strong at a pace under 8 minutes per mile, but I slowed considerably after the 4th mile. I took approximately a one minute break at mile 4 and turned back while Wesley continued to run for a longer distance. I stopped for brief walks (under 10 seconds each) on 4 separate times at 5, 6, 6.5 and 7 miles; and consumed a 20 ounce bottle of Powerade. Wesley caught up with me at the Broadway bridge and we each felt good after we finished. A year ago, I could not have done that, but now it would be good to do an afternoon run every week or two throughout the summer to acclimate to hot weather.

Our buddy Travis is running in the heat in Florida in Air Force Reserve training. While I was running, I was thinking of how Travis is doing in their afternoon runs. Travis is young, fast and strong, so I'm sure he's doing well.
