Week of 10/15/2012

10/17/12
3 miles in 29:57/Split 9:58
Moanalua District. Hills = enemies...tried to run my regular pace going up the first hill...had to stop a few times (10-15 sec) to catch my breath on the way up (other hills).


10/20/12
3 miles in 30:32/Split 10:08
Kamehameha Community Park. Tried to run the Farrington High track @ 6:50am...nope, the pee wee football players were out there getting ready for a game (with their families in the stands).


10/21/12
3 miles in 29:25/Split 9:48
Farrington High Track. Picked up the pace towards the end...there was a 12-13 year old running on the track with his dad coaching him...yeah, I got smoked!


Week of 10/8/2012

9/26/12
3 miles in 34:32/Split 11:30
Moanalua District. I finally stopped wearing the knee brace. Same route around Moanalua Gardens but at a much slower pace (crawled up some hills & stopped for pics).


10/13/12
3 miles in 31:56/Split 10:37
Kamehameha Community Park. I wanted to run around the Farrington High track but as I approached, I saw that a football game was about to start...over to Kam Park for some soft grass running.


10/14/12
3 miles in 29:47/Split 9:53
Farrington High Track. I like running around a track (short runs) to keep me on pace even though I have a GPS watch. It seems they filled in the muddy sections with red kitty litter :-\


Week of 10/1/2012

10/4/12
3 miles in 31:45/Split 10:35
Moanalua District. I meant to run up the Moanalua Valley but ended up running around Moanalua Gardens and some of the surrounding streets.


Week of 9/24/2012

9/26/12
3 miles in 31:04/Split 10:21
Ala Moana Beach Park. Oh, the sun was killah...not good killah, bad killah! I wanted to quit at 2.5 & 2.75 miles but I crawled to the end. Had to loosen my knee brace cuz my leg was tingling, then it was loose & moving around...crap!


9/27/12
2 miles in 22:53/Split 11:18
Ala Moana Beach Park. I was trying to time my run so a big cloud would be covering the sun...no dice! I died even before 2 miles :(


Week of 9/17/2012

9/18/12
3 miles in 37:24/Split 12:28
Upper Kalihi Valley. I ran past the fence at the end of Kalihi St (can only go 1/2 mile more until the road/trail ends). The last .15 miles was so steep, I had to walk it. Then I slow jogged cuz it was slippery going downhill (almost went down once). Slooooow time. Knee felt okay during run but was sore afterwards.


9/21/12
4 miles in 40:20/Split 10:03
Moanalua Valley. Squeezed in a run before work. Knee felt okay but I'm still wearing a brace. Ran easy but picked up the pace (last half-mile) when I saw how slow I was running.


Week of 9/10/2012

9/15/12
3 miles in 31:02/Split 10:53
Kamehameha Community Park. Ran slow and easy. I didn't wear my brace just to see how my knee felt...no pain during the run. It rained earlier so my shoes got soaked from running on grass...no prob since they're are so light ;-)


9/16/12
3 miles in 32:41/Split 10:20
Kamehameha Community Park. Wore my knee brace since I ran yesterday. It was twilight when I started...most of the run was in the dark (stumbled a few times but didn't go down!). Died during the last mile %')


8/13/2012 to 9/9/2012

8/15/12
2 miles in 22:18/Split 11:07
Upper Kalihi Valley. First time, on the road, in almost a month. Short run to the end of Kalihi St and past the vehicle gate. Wore knee brace. Knee was okay during run but still hurts when I walk.


8/22/12
3 miles in 32:39/Split 10:52
Upper Kalihi Valley. Felt some knee pain so I stopped after 3 miles. Ran to the end of Kalihi Street and around the vehicle gate. The asphalt started to deteriorate so I turned around (didn't want to chance twisting my knee). Ran really slow the first 2 miles stopping many times for pictures. Wore knee brace and was fine during the run...was limping afterwards. Yep, the knee is still hurting...visiting the doc next week.


Not much running in the past month. There's still some knee pain & I've been busy with work (side job also). Of course, laziness is always a factor ;-)
