4 miles in 40:32/Split 10:06
West Loch Shoreline Park. Took it easy since I ran long yesterday. The sun was blazing and I died after 3 miles but zombied on till the end!


12/18/11
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.

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.

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!

12/4/11
7 miles in 1:14:57/Split 10:41
Pearl City Bike Path (Neal Blaisell Park). I ran a couple of miles further than intended. I ran slower than usual (long/slow run mode). The sun was high and I stopped a few times for pics...super slow run :-/

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 :(

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 :(

Week of 11/7/2011

11/7/11
5 miles in 51:01/Split 10:10
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.


Crap, only ONE run this week...lazy!
