It was a great morning to run today.  It was cooler (around 60) and no wind.  I felt really good this morning but I keeping with the program of just running easy until I get around 4 weeks of solid running under my belt.  I can definitely feel like my shape is starting to improve but still have a long way to go especially on pace.

Honolulu, HI:  I flew out here on Tues and was beat when I got in so didn't get a run in.  Yesterday I started work at 2 am local and didn't get finished until 7:30 pm so again was beat and didn't run.  Today I was able to get out and run up around Diamond head.  It was a warm and humid morning but great to get out especially hearing the waves breaking on the beach.  I felt good and just ran easy.  I was pretty slow going up the hill at Diamond Head which lets me know I still have a ways to go to get back in shape.  Passed some homeless people down by the park and just reminded me of how blessed I am to have a family, home, job, health, etc.

Honolulu, HI:  Yesterday was another crazy day at work so didn't get to run.  No one probably wants to hear me complain while I am in HI but this has been a really busy trip.  Most days been working around 14 hours plus dinners with customers.  Today I have a free day since I don't fly out until 9 PM.  It was a nice morning as usual warm and humid.  I ran the route up around Diamond Head.  Around 3 or 4 miles started having this random pain behind my left knee.  Started hurting pretty bad and stopped a couple of times to stretch but didn't seem to help.  It helped running slower so I just slowed way down and came back.  Not sure what it is because it just came out of nowhere.  Hopefully, it will go aways as quickly.  Now I am going hiking with a co-worker and then hit the beach before flying out tonight.
