Honolulu:  It was warm (72) and very windy this morning.  I wanted to do a 4 mile tempo to run hard and specifically run hard on the hills.  I didn't feel the best this morning.  Probably still feeling the cold some and the effects of yesterday's flight.  I ran 4 miles easy and felt some better but the legs just kind of felt week.  I ran out around Diamond Head and back.  I started the tempo going up one of the big hills and it was into the wind so pace was off but it was definitely tempo effort.  I felt better when I got on the flats and had some downhills but toward the end of the tempo my legs when feeling very tired and flat.  Here are the splits:

1 - 7:27 (uphill, into wind)

2 - 6:31

3 - 6:43 (uphill)

4 - 6:17 (downhill)

Overall it was a pretty good effort considering I didn't feel the best.  Good to get in some faster running.

Yes, it is hard to beat the run around Diamond Head. It was a full moon and beautiful reflecting off of the waves.
