8 mile run in Park City on the Rail Trail and up into the hills. Hips are tight and a bit painful.

Gorgeous 8 mile trail run through the mountains above Park City.Hips were killing me, but 1/2 way through they eased up a bit. Still can't get a decent stride length.

4-1/4 miles on the Rail Trail in Park City. Hips are still hurting, but it was a fun run. Vacation is now over, back to the rat race.

4-1/2 mile run up Perry Canyon. Hip killed me the first 2 miles, then eased up. The single track intersects a dirt road and as I got there, I saw a shiny SUV coming down the canyon. It was my next-door neighbor. He has never struck me as the 'outdoorsy' type. Made me wonder what he was doing up the canyon. I didn't see any dumped bodies so I guess he was just communing with nature. I still can't get a good stride going and I'm a couple minutes off my pre-injury pace. I'm happy to be running, but it is a bit frustrating.

8 mile trail run up Perry Canyon, up the switchbacks to the upper bench. The switchbacks were overgrown, 2/3 of the way up there was a washed out section and I ended up on a deer trail. Rough climbing, but great cardio workout. Flats and uphills felt good. The downhill impact caused my lower back to tighten and hurt. No speed going downhill. Overall an enjoyable run.

6-1/2 miles up the Grizzly Peak Trail. Good hill training. Nice and cool once I got into the trees along Three Mile Creek. No hip pain today, so that is great.

3.1 miles running in the neighborhood at dusk. The mosquitoes attacked me with enthusiasm. Thought I might need a transfusion if I ran any longer.

8 mile run up the Grizzly Peak Trail. Up Perry Canyon, up the south side switchbacks then to White Rock. It was almost dusk when I turned around. It got pretty dark on the trail and was completely dark when I got home. I was finally able to get a decent stride going downhill. It felt good. No hip/back pain.
