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 half-marathon course of the 3B26 route with Jacob, Joe and Jacinto in 1:50 (8:27/mile).  Ran the last two miles in 7:41 and 7:46, running ahead of Joe and Jacinto.  It was a nice morning.  We started at 8:00 am and Joe thought it was hot.  I thought it was cooler than last weekend but a little warmer than average for the end of September.

Ran 17.3 miles on a nice morning in 2:22:30 (8:14/mile).  Ran along the south side of the Arkansas River from the Two Rivers Bridge to Verizon and back, and then around the loop at Two Rivers Park.  There was a moderate wind around 10 mph from the northwest, which was nice as it started to get a little warmer.
