It was 73 degrees when this morning. It started to rain lightly when I began my run, then it started raining harder. By the end of mile 1 I was totally soaked like I had already run 10. Luckily it slowed down. I ran 10.03 miles easy.
We took a trip today to Waihe'e valley for a hike in the rainforest. The climates on Maui are just amazing. Where we were hiking they get almost 400" of rain per year and yet 7 miles away the leeward coast gets only 15". We hiked about 5 miles roundtrip and had to cross 4 swinging suspension bridges and ford 4 creeks. We got muddy and wet but had a great time spotting waterfalls and seeing some amazing plant life.
