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!).

3 miles in 29:30/Split 9:50
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Easy 3 miles (3 miles isn't easy anymore!). Started getting a sore throat later on.

3 miles in 28:40/Split 9:33
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Took it easy since I'm on a roll with four weeks, in a row, with only one run. Don't know what's up but something is lacking in my Dedication, Commitment or Desire. I need to get off my A$$ and start running THREE TIMES A WEEK again!

3 miles in 27:44/Split 9:14
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Pushed it again at the end. Without my GPS watch, I only have three measured 3 mile routes and all of them are on the Pearl City Bike Path. The scenery is getting mighty boring!

3 miles in 29:40/Split 9:53
Pearl City Bike Path (Neal Blaisdell Park). Noticed another runner as I turned around & picked it up (1 1/2 mile point). Couldn't maintain the pace and had to walk, for a minute, during the 3rd mile.
Mom is visiting for Thanksgiving (13 days in all) and I'm not finding much time to run.
