5 miles in 51:06/Split 10:12
Ala Moana Beach Park. Didn't feel like running but my wife wanted to go shopping at Ala Moana. So I just walked across the street to the beach park and TADA!! Still running slow and easy cuz my hammy continues to feel a little tight.
Week of 12/5/2011
12/8/11
6 miles in 58:52/Split 9:46
Ala Moana Beach Park. I was off work, this morning, so I had a nice early run. There were lots of runners (I was even passed a couple of times :-/). Started out too fast and thought I was going to burn out but ended up keeping a good pace throughout. Afterwards, I had a nice refreshing swim :-)
12/9/11
4 miles in 39:41/Split 9:53
West Loch Shoreline Park. Only ran 4 miles because I was really pressed for time...had to take the babysitter home, pick up the wife from work, pick up my mom's christmas box before the post office closed.
Loved the clouds during the first mile. Struggled the last mile but finished. My right hamstring started to tighten (just a bit) at the end.
12/11/11
8 miles in 1:23:14/Split 10:23
Pearl City Bike Path (Neal Blaisell Park). I meant to go only 5 miles because I'm running tomorrow. During the first mile, I decided to run to the end of the path, down Waipahu Depot Rd & Farrington Hwy and back to the bike path (near Waipahu High School). It turned out to be amost exactly 8 miles. Hot sun for most of the run but there was a nice breeze. I was dying the last mile with sore legs, feet...even toes!

Ala Moana Beach Park. This is my fav spot to run...views of the beach, ocean, magic island, diamond head, downtown honolulu...ran in the late afternoon so it was nice and cool...felt great after 5 miles and could have ran a lot further...
11/27/11
4 miles in 39:09/Split 9:46
Pearl City Bike Path (Neal Blaisell Park). Started out a little too fast and struggled during the 3rd mile (walked for 20 sec). Felt better during the last mile. Picked up the pace, during the last 200m, but felt a tweak in my right hamstring so I eased off :(

11/17/11
4 miles in 40:46/Split 10:10
West Loch Shoreline Park. Finished 2 hours early, with my morning client, so I was able to sneak in a morning run. Even at 10am, the sun was high in the sky but there was a nice tradewind ;-)
11/18/11
5 miles in 51:30/Split 10:16
Sand Island Beach Park. Ran around the park for a mile before heading out to the road. I was thinking 6 miles but when I checked my pace at 4.5 miles, it was so slow that I ran hard for a half-mile and quit after 5 miles :(

West Loch Shoreline Park. Didn't go as far as my last run but followed the same route. There was some sun during the 1st and 5th miles but it was mostly cloudy which I was VERY thankful for.

1 mile in 15:23/Split 15:23
Sand Island Beach Park. Wanted to run at Sand Island but I forgot my dang shoes! Since I was near the beach, I decided to go for a run on the beach...BIG mistake! The sand was deep, even at the shoreline (quicksand?). I stopped after 15 minutes cuz my Achilles tendons were killing me. All in all...a sucky experience :-/
11/1/11
4 miles in 41:49/Split 10:20
Sand Island Beach Park. Ran from the back parking lot of Sand Island Beach Park, along Sand Island Parkway to the bridge and back. It drizzled some, during the run, so I had an obstacle course of puddles to make my way past (at the beach park).
11/4/11
6 miles in 1:02:27/Split 10:23
West Loch Shoreline Park. Ran south down the bike path thinking 4 miles. I was in a long, slow running mode and felt good as I made my way down Fort Weaver Road. I bumped up my goal to 5 miles as I turned around at Iroquois Rd. By the time I reached the park (starting point), I was almost at 6 miles :)

West Loch Shoreline Park. Sunny and hot for most of the run. At 2.4 miles, got stuck at a long stoplight...tried to pause my Nike+iPod but ended the workout instead! It took at least a minute to reset the iPod and get going again...lost my rhythm and my legs felt heavy :(
10/30/11
3 miles in 30:32/Split 10:07
Pearl City Bike Path - Neal Blaisdell Park. Wah, wah...I was thinking 5 miles so I ran out 2.5 miles turned around and...died at 3 miles. That meant...a 2 mile walk to my car :(

10/10/11
4 miles in 40:45/Split 10:08
Kalihi Street Up & Back. Felt good but had to stop & catch my breath a couple of times while climbing. Love the cool morning runs! This will probably be my last run, on this route, since I'm moving next week.
10/11/11
4 miles in 40:00/Split 10:00
Kalihi Street Up & Back. Felt pretty good. Ran at 2pm but there were some clouds. On the climbs, didn't need to stop and catch my breath, like usual, but I was crawling at times. Took it easy on the downhills cuz this was my third day in a row running.
Note: Strange thing happened. I forgot to connect the receiver to my iPod (10/11 run). It shouldn't have worked but it saved the workout under "Sensor 2" but didn't send it to nikeplus.com. The distance was pretty accurate but the time was off.

10/2/11
4 miles in 38:40/Split 9:39
Kalihi St Up & Back. I've slacking off...only 2 runs this week. Morning run...nice and cool. The terrain was mostly uphill for the first 2 miles which made for some fast downhill running on the way back :)

West Loch Shoreline Park. Had zero energy and my back was aching in the beginning. Mostly hot & sunny for the first 2 miles. Had some clouds and shade, on A'awa Dr. for the last 2 miles :) The route came out to 4.5 miles though I didn't make it that far.
9/23/11
6 miles in 1:03:34/Split 10:35
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Felt okay but downed a 5-Hour Energy just in case. Ran at 4pm so the sun wasn't a factor. I felt so good, at 2 miles, that I ran another mile before turning around. Today was my slower paced, long run (1.5 miles longer than intended).
9/25/11
4 miles in 40:34/Split 10:07
Kalihi St Loop. Nice, cool morning run. Still felt sleepy...no energy (wish I had a cup of coffee beforehand). Ran a different loop and had to stop & walk a couple of times on Numana & Valley View (150-ft climb). The run ended with a small incline for the last .6 miles (no problem).

3 miles in 30:41/Split 10:12
West Loch Shoreline Park. Ran at West Loch Shoreline Park which is another favorite of mine. I wanted to go 4 miles but the sun killed me. I wasn't even winded but this star, at the center of our solar system, took away my "will to run"!
9/14/11
3.5 miles in 36:30/Split 10:21
West Loch Shoreline Park. Tried 4 miles again with a different route...south down bike path/go right at dirt road/go right at A'Awa Dr/go right at Fort Weaver Rd/go right at Laulaunui St/go left at Kapapapuhi St. Then, like Icarus, I came too close to the sun, melted my running wings, fell to the earth and died!
9/16/11
4 miles in 40:30/Split 10:07
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Ran at 4pm which is 3 hours later than usual. The sun wasn't too bad and there were even some shady spots. The asphalt didn't feel like hot lava which my feet appreciated.

Ala Moana Beach Park. My shins felt a little sore at the beginning (could be the 5 mile run on Fri & hiking on Sat?). It was cloudy most of the run and the first 2 miles were effortless :) Tomorrow will be an off day to give my legs some more rest.
9/8/11
4 miles in 40:52/Split 10:10
Ala Moana Beach Park. Tried to run around the soccer fields but I felt dead with no energy (stopped before a half-mile). Easy 4 mile run at my favorite running spot...Ala Moana Beach Park & Magic Island. There are always plenty of other runners to help inspire me :)

Pearl City Bike Path-Waipahu Depot Rd-Farrington Hwy-Waipio Pt Access Rd Loop. Ran this route for the first time and didn't like it. Maybe I will try the route in reverse so I can run against traffic. It felt like the sun was sitting on top of me! (A familiar theme).

4 miles in 40:31/Split 10:06
Pearl City Bike Path (Neal Blaisdell Part). Wanted to go 4 miles. Fitness-wise...no problem. Withstanding the sun...big problem. I made it but was super thirsty...also need a breathable running hat...the visor isn't protecting my head!

4 miles in 39:15/Split 9:49
Kalihi St Loop. Ran 3 days in a row which I never do since I'm prone to injury. Crawled up the hills and dodged cars on Kalihi Street! Said a little prayer cuz there's a couple of blind curves and no shoulder.

2 miles in 19:44/Split 9:37
Kalihi St Loop. This is currently a 2 mile run. I haven't found a 3 mile run that is safe and currently finishable for me (don't like hills). As I ran, I thought maybe I could run 1.5 miles of my route as an up and back?
7/19/11
2.25 miles in 22:10/Split 9:51
Waipahu High School Track. Had to cut my run short to visit the "doo doo" room!

Waipahu High School Track. It's been a long time since I ran on a track and my feet enjoyed the soft dirt. Of course, the dirt is red and stained my shoes and socks. After the 2 mile point, I did get a little bored and the hot sun didn't help.
Loser, loser, loser! I whimped out again and didn't run during the weekend...grr!

Another Reason For My Absense
April was the month of the cough for me. I was hacking up phlegm almost the entire month. OTC meds didn't work and I was too busy to see the doc or vise versa.
Been Gone For Awhile
Whoa, I haven't run for over a month! Some stuffs (sic) have changed in my, which will effect my running...okay, one big change!
My wife is working full time now. I need to pick her up as soon as I'm off work which means...no more after work runs on the Pearl City Bike Path :(
I'm getting home later (gotta pick up dakine...baby) so I have a small window to get my runs in. There will be more time on the weekends to workout.

2/25/11
2 miles in 18:57/Split 9:29
Kalihi St Loop. Had an unexpected day off so I ran late in the morning (haven't done that since I lived in Salt Lake). There was little traffic so that was cool. Nike+iPod measured my run spot-on this time!

Reboot! Early February...2011
Well, well...after recovering from my cold, I decided to make a fresh start after the New Year. The New Year came and went...no running. 2 weeks passed...a month...nothing! My iPod was dead (battery wouldn't hold a charge) & my GPS watch wouldn't charge at all! Was the runner in me, along with my gear, dead?
Looking to workout, from the comfort of my own home, I started researching spinner exercise bikes and picked out the ProForm 290 SPX. The day before purchasing the bike, from the local sporting goods store, my running spirit said, "NO!"
This spirit guided me to the "Running Room" where a pair of New Balance 1064's awaited. Then it was on to Best Buy for a new iPod Nano & the Nike + iPod sport kit.
Now, I'm ready to go and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"...except for another bad cold and a nasty, painful fever blister (another 2 weeks lost!).
