Day 1,438: Running at 6,900 feet

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. -- Today's run involved a very short loop along the Rim Trail at the Grand Canyon Village (South Rim).

We already had been out for the sunrise at 7:24 a.m. and later changed into running gear. We set out for the Bright Angel trailhead and that was pretty much downhill, so it wasn't too hard.

But coming back, along an incline, I really felt my legs and lungs do work. It reminded me of trying to race up a big hill near the end of a race.

But still, we did it!

Time: 8:33 a.m.
Temp: 29 degrees
Gear: Tech T, long (Nike grey), running pants, Marmot windbreaker, Outdoor Research fleece hat, Nike Air Pegasus+ 26/D.
