Well I never was good at following directions,  couldn't help running in Central Park this morning.  My work friend is in town working at a different hotel so I made him wake up early and meet me for a run.  He is about a 10:00min/mile guy so I figured that would be perfect to run with him and keep me under control.   Hip felt really good most of the way, I tried to toe strike most of the run that seems to help and for the most part didn't really have any pain at all,  I could tell that on the downhills or if I tried to speed up a little things weren't totally back to normal but hey its a start.  Ran out around the resevoir and back for a total of 6, that was a bit far for poor Jeff but he'll live.

Got back to the hotel and decided to go to the gym for a bit more, 30 minutes on the elliptical.  While I was on the elliptical I kept thinking the guy next to me looked awfully familiar. After going back and forth between Fox news and looking at him I realized it was Mitt Romney.  I wanted to go talk to him but he seemed pretty deep in thought.  I day dream about running a really fast marathon when I work out, he dreams about running the nation.  Pretty close.  I thought that was strange but then realized I am in the New York Marriott Marquis, I'd imagine Marriott pays for all of Romneys hotel rooms.

Just to make sure I came back to my room (I have access to the hotel rooms list) and checked, sure enough, Willard M Romney is checked into the hotel under his very own name.

P.M.

Since I have to wake up at 2:45 am Utah time tomorrow morning to catch my flight home I decided to get my morning workout done tonight.

That is the start to a good day if you ask me! Good job buddy. Glad you got to run the park in June like you wanted.

But be easy on your hip so you can get back into full swing, you don't want to keep irritating it and make healing take longer or worse, surgery!!!

As for Jeff, it's good for him. He needs the push. ;)
