| Ran 2 miles down into the Haleakala Crater and 2 miles back up! 9,740 feet high. Really could feel the elevation on the run back up. The last mile up was a walk jog thing, with my heart bursting out of my chest. Great altitude training, I guess! |

| Ran on a trail by the beach. The trail was paved, but was right on the sandy beach. It was beautiful, with a gentle breeze and warm moist air. |

| Got back in late last night. I extended my stay a couple of days, and I really can't say its that great to be back. I guess I missed the really cold weather, but it still feels plenty cold to me, and the wind is howling. I had a great, restful, healing, and peaceful trip. I'm running again, and will post the runs as soon as I get the new Garmin to become friends with my computer. The highlight was a run at the top of Haleakala Crater at 9,740 feet! Short, just two miles down and two up. Beautiful day and great altitutde training! My miles are still short, but I'm ready now to ramp it up a bit and see if I can get ready for a 1/2 in mid January. I am happy, brown and plump. |

| Got up early to run almost 8 miles with my friend Aeron. This is the longest and best that I have run since the knee thing, and it felt soooo good to be back out there! My respiratory system is having a bit of difficulty adjusting back to colder Pacific Northwest air, but other than that I felt great. Better than great. No knee pain, perfectly balanced hip flexors for the whole run. Stopped once to do some exercises to realign everything at about mile 6. It was around 42 degrees, not too cold, but it felt plenty cold to me. Spent the afternoon up at the mountain skiing. If running felt good, skiing was like heaven. I only skied for a couple of hours, and stuck to speed runs down groomers, but the knee was happy. I'M BACK! |

| My breathing is better today. I'm adjusting to this climate again. Glad I went early, because now there is cold rain. I'm not ready for that. I had to wear gloves this morning. I saw two rabbits on my run. Usually they are more secretive, but they were running across the trail in front of me this morning. They look really fat and healthy. Makes me think of stew. |

| 40 degrees at 7:30am. Very damp air and fog. So damp that my hair was all wet even though it didn't even rain. I met three running friends for a 10 mile out and back along the interurban trail. We all started out thinking that our paces would be different and we couldn't stay together, but we were together the whole way. It was great to catch up with everyone, and we saw other groups of runners and bikers along the way. An active Saturday morning in Bellingham. Splits were 9:33, 9:31, 9:46, 9:31, 9:27, 9:05, 9:07, 9:08, and 8:49. The way out is slightly uphill and the way back is slightly downhill, which you can see in the splits. Funny thing is that mile 8-9 is a steady UPHILL on the way back. About a 2-3% grade I would say, and 3/4 of a mile long. For some weird reason, I always rock this hill. My knee feels great, but I'm going to take the rest of the day off and either ski tomorrow or go for a short run (OR BOTH!) Have a great weekend! |
