Another awesome day. It was around 70 and very windy.  Was able to get in an easy recovery run in the afternoon and felt good.

Honolulu, HI: Got in before the tropical storm hit but still raining pretty good so ran on the TM for a few miles just to shake off the effects of the long flight.  Took it real easy and felt pretty good.

Honolulu, HI: The tropical storm fizzled out which is good so was able to get outside this morning.  Ran the loop around Diamond Head.  It was warm (79), very humid and very windy.  I felt a little sluggish this morning and just ran easy.  Ran 4 x 100 strides at the end.

Honolulu, HI:  Warm (78), humid and windy.  Planned a 4 mile tempo today so ran down by the beach and then up the canal to keep it flat so I could get more consistent splits.  Ran a 2 mile warmup and then ran the 4 mile tempo.  Felt pretty good most of the way.  Didn't feel like I was pushing too hard.  It was hard to check my pace on the Garmin since it was dark and misty rain but the splits turned out pretty good.  Ran 6:51, 6:49, 6:41, 6:41. The last mile was back into the wind so I was happy to keep the pace even.

Honolulu, HI:  Had to change hotels because of availablity so moved out to Ko'Olina.  It is really nice out here and was able to run down along the ocean this morning.  Came back just as the sun was rising and it was really pretty.  Felt good today and just took it nice and easy.

Honolulu, HI: It was less humid and less windy today.  I felt good and ran easy.  About half way through started to pick it up and finished with pretty good pace. Glad to get in a good week while I was traveling.

Back home today.  Flew all night and didn't get much sleep so was pretty tired but was able to get out and run a few miles to shake the cob webs out.  It was warm (80) and humid.  Felt surprisingly well running and just ran easy but it was a decent pace.  Glad to get a run in today and I think this is high mileage week for the year so just need to keep building up.
