AM: Bike for 80 mins

PM: Planet Walk 2 Mile run.  No pain or tightness.  I love the Altras.  I don't need all the room in the toe box, but it wasn't detrimental.  The shoes felt like my MT101's.  I like the low profile.  I have also been doing Myrtl Hip Exercises.  They seem to be helping.  I had no idea my hips were so tight.  Gonna keep doing them 2x's a day.

AM: 80 mins on the exercise bike.  Watched War of the Worlds.

PM: 2.5 miles running.  I did laps around the driving range and the willow park ball fields.  Leg felt great on the grass.  Last half mile home, not so good.  I am not seeing  much improvement.  Followed it my jog with 30 mins on the bike.

Hike/Run - 

Headed up the stairmaster (Providence Canyon).  My main goals were to get a ways up the canyon and not get stuck in a blizzard and die.  I succeeded on all accounts.  I hit 9K+ feet elevation while staying on snowmobile tracks until the last grunt up a hill.  I was enjoying myself until I hit what I think was the lower slopes of Providence Peak when the storm hit with a vengence.  I quickly decided to tuck tail and head down.  Not a moment too soon.  I was soon in a whiteout and would've given my right knee for some ski goggles.  I was running blind down the mountain.  I made it back to relative safety near the quarry before deciding I had better stop running.  Too late, though the damage had been done.  My knee was now really sore.  I ended up walking the rest of the way down the canyon waving to 30 snowmobiles as they headed up into their playground. 

Overall, it was great fun, but I really need to figure out this injury.  Apparently, it is not ready to handle actual running yet.  Better lay low and reassess. 

T- 3:10 (17:16) 4000' vert (about 2-3 miles of actual running)
