Week of 9/12/2011

9/13/11
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!

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.

Week of 9/5/2011

9/5/11
4 miles in 40:39/Split 10:10
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 :)

Week of 8/29/2011

8/29/11
3 miles in 30:33/Split 10:11
Waipio Pt Access Rd & Pearl City Bike Path. Tried to run around the soccer fields but I felt dead with no energy (stopped before a half-mile). Ran down the Access Rd and almost quit again but stuck it out for 3 miles.


8/30/11
4.5 miles in 47:14/Split 10:25
Pearl City Bike Path-Waipahu Depot Rd-Farrington Hwy-Waipio Pt Access Rd Loop. Tried to run around the soccer fields but I felt dead with no energy (stopped before a half-mile). Felt fat & out of shape during the first mile (almost quit again). Tired out after 3 miles stopping a couple of times to walk. Recieved my new running hats in the mail...will try 'em on Friday :)


9/2/11
5 miles in 53:05/Split 10:35
Waipio Pt Access Rd & Pearl City Bike Path. There were intermittent clouds for the first 2 miles (felt great). Then my evil friend Sol ("the sun" not "sh*t out of luck") came out and blasted me with his evil UV rays!

Week of 8/22/2011

8/22/11
3.5 miles in 36:07/Split 10:17
Waipio Pt Access Rd & Soccer Complex. Ran down the access road and around one of the soccer fields. It was overcast so there was no sun but I had the blah blahs today...\


8/23/11
3.5 miles in 36:13/Split 10:13
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).


8/26/11
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!

Week of 8-15-2011

4.5 miles in 45:49/Split 10:07
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipio Point Access Rd). Changed the route a bit running from the soccer complex, down Waipio Pt Access Rd, and along the bike path. There were some clouds, at times, that cooled me down but felt the sun's full intensity for the last mile.

3 miles in 30:46/Split 10:10
Keehi Lagoon Park. Found a new venue at Keehi Lagoon Park. Today, I ran around the perimeter of the park grass, tennis courts & baseball field which is a 1 mile loop. Started melting after the 2nd loop because of the sun :-/
