I ran the daybreak loop with my sis in law who is down from Hamilton Montana.  She's training for St. George and her kids are doing the swim camp  at BYU for 2 weeks.  For those who havnt been to Hamilton, your missing out!  Brad Pitt shot his movie "a river runs through it" there and he actually owns alot of land off the bitter root river.   He even bought the bar that he was killed in the movie in.  We ran 7.5 miles at a 9:46 average which felt pretty good to do a nice paced run this morning.  My right hip is in a bit of trouble. I cant tell if its my muscle or problems from 1993 when I got hit by a car.  I can usually feel quite a bit of pain at the end of marathons from my hips and pelvis.  But Ill keep icing it and live to be another day older.

Are you still doing the grand slam?

From walter on Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 20:08:19

So far I am because im still trying to get into st. george and this seems to be the only way for now until I hear back from Steve. Are you thinking of doing it? Because Ben only has a couple of minutes on us and it would be easy to get it back on the next three.

No. I'm doing a trail ultramarathon tomorrow and another one the same day as TOU. No time for other marathons- trail runs are my focus this summer. I'll be doing good if I recover in time for SGM.

Thats right I knew that! Good luck to you and Ill wait to hear back from your success. It sounds pretty fun if I didnt have such a big race schedule I would probably do it with you.
