Day 1,439: Running at 7,200 feet

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. -- Today's run was designed to get us to where we wanted to catch the sunrise -- Yaki Point, but where no cars were supposed to go.

So we parked at a place where it was OK to park and then ran .5 miles on the Rim Trail to the South Kaibab Trailhead. Only thing was access to Yaki Point wasn't there, it was off another road that the trailhead connects with.

So we ran down the main road to Yaki Point and finally got there after about 1.7 miles. As usual, it seemed hard at first and the road to Yaki Point had some elevation.

But we made it! This definitely is the highest elevation I've run at!

Time: 7:33 a.m.
Temp: ? maybe 33 degrees
Gear: Tech T, long (Locomotive Half Marathon '10, Nike grey), running pants, Marmot windbreaker, Nike Air Pegasus+ 26/D.
