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)

Met Eddie at Two Rivers Bridge and ran 4 miles easy with him.  Then, ran 4 miles with Ty W. until I began to loose energy.  So Ty continued with sub-8 min miles, and I slowed down to about an 8:45/mile pace.  Think it was a combination of the humidity and the hard miles I ran yesterday.

Ran 8.1 miles at Scott Field on a dry and 68 degree morning.  Ran a 2-mile warm-up, then ran 5-miles in 36:20, followed by a 1.1 mile cool down.  My right hamstring and periformis are very tight, so I was just trying to loosen them up.  I've been rolling them with a Trigger roller at night, and stretching them after running.
