Honolulu, HI: It was a nice morning today.  Ran up around Diamond Head then ran up and down the hills on the backside.  I got a cramp in my left calf around 7 miles.  I think I might have overdone it on the hills.  I slowed down and it got better.  Felt a lot better when I got back down on the flat.

WOW!!! What a place for a run.I hope you're having a "Great" time. I'd love to go there sometime.

Yes, it is a nice place to run. Out here on business so not a lot of time for fun stuff. It is definitely someplace great to visit if you get the chance.

Yes, probably the hills and dehydration from the trip caused the calf bark. Keep up with fluids and sodium. Anyway, it will get u ready when u get back. Heating up here.

Bob, good advice on the calf problem. I tend to forget about the effects of travel and it is harder to hydrate when traveling. Try to stay cool in the hotter weather.
