Progression run.  Ran two miles to slow to see how hip flexor felt.  No problems so I decided to go forward with the planned progression run.  This would be the last intense run until I get back from Italy so I decided to push my limits.

1 hour progression run starting at a 7:30 pace then bumping it up a 1 mph on the TM for each additional mile.  Final 1.32 miles I ran at a 6:52 pace.  Total miles 8.32.  Av pace: 7:13.  Final 2 miles I was pushing my limits.

2 mile cool.  15 minutes of cleaning all the sweat of the TM.

Travel day.  Arrived in Florence, Italy at 3:00 pm local time.  Could not get any sleep on the plane.  Right now it is 3:30 am local time and I am wide awake.  Planning to get a short run in soon as it is daylight.  It is colder than SLC here :(

I'm guestimating 6 miles.  I ran for 50 minutes.  I ran across the several bridges in Florence and up one of the hills did get a good view of the City.  It is soooo beautiful.  So much history and all.

Lots of walking today but no running.  We travelled to Siena, Cortona, and San Giminamio (?).  Snow in most of these villages.  Cortona and San Giminamio are hill top towns so wnet sepnt the day climbing up and down the small towns.  You have to park your car outside of the town and walk in.  Cold but beautiful.

Finally get another run in at Monterosso, part of the five villages on the Italian Riviera called Cinque Terra.  Ran part of the trail that connects the towns.  The weather warmed up to about 55 - 60, perfect for hiking.  After getting back to the small hotel we packed a day pack and hiked through all five towns.  Alot of climbing through steep hills and vineyards.  Perfect day.
