30 minutes on the elliptical waiting for light and then 6 miles on the JRP.  Focused on "gliding" while I ran to try and minimize impact.  Actually felt pretty good this morning, hip always starts out stiff but gets better as I move.  Crazy week this week, I'm off to Brazil on Wednesday.

Went to meet my bike group at 5:30 and no one showed up, so I just decided to go it alone.  Did the Big Cottonwood, to Little Cottonwood, Wasatch to DimpleDell loop.  Freezing cold this morning.  I looked forward to uphills just to get warm.

On the way back I passed the group so they started a whole hour late today, probably waiting for it to get warmer.

I made a pace chart for the BigHorn50,  Not sure how accurate it is, it's meant to be more of a guideline.  Google Docs is really stupid cause you can't lock cells like in excel.  It's either all or nothing, so if anyone happens to go look at it please only change the goal time.

Pretty fun little run this morning, I decided to hit the trails up behind my house and do a little exploring.  I've never been back there before mainly because of the big signs all over that say "No Trespassing, no Hiking, no Mountain Biking, Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law"  but this morning I wasn't going to let a little ol' sign get me down.  I mean, really, what is the punishment for trail running?  Besides the obvious foot blisters and road rash.

I found a great 4x4 road that I feel simulated what Bighorn will be like, steep, rocky, and very secluded.  I was hoping it would go further, I thought I might be able to come out at the flight park or SunCrest or something neat.  But it dead ended about 3 miles up and I didn't want to bush wack so I turned back.  On the way back I noticed a white truck opening the gate at "the sign" and didn't want to test my luck so I hightailed it up a very steep hill into the upper part of our neighborhood.  Wanting to go further I found another dirt trail that eventually did take me to the hangglide park.  I stopped a minute, took in some great views and headed home.

It was a perfect morning, and perfect run.  My hip is actaully feeling very good, I think the injection is starting to do something finally.  There is no way I could run 50 miles in the Minimus shoes though, the rocks really started bothering the bottom of my feet.

In the crown room waiting for my 20 hour flight to Brazil now.

There is a really nice path that runs along the river here in Sao Paulo, the map shows it being 16km long,  I've been really wanting to try running on it since I was here last December, well my Co-Workers and I walked and walked yesterday trying to figure out how to get to it, turns out there are only 2 places to access it both at train stations, and you have to have a bike to go on it.  What kind of trail only allows bikes?  What is it the Alta of trails.  So anyway, I don't really see anywhere else to run in this crazy town so I went to the hot humid hotel gym this morning.  8 miles in 63 minutes, leg was sore but completely runable.
