making a comeback!

Today I call this the run of "wills". Will I go, or won't I go? After slowly getting ready ... Yes I will go. Then it was "will I run 4 or will I run 5". You get the picture. Things felt rather hard today. ( Monday is never one of my best runs, and I still feel a little behind from the gomboo that has plagued our house. Mostly on the mend happy to say, things are breaking up in the chest and draining out of the sinuses nicely now. ) So I trudged out the door, things looked sunny and nice, but it was rather cool, but I opted for short sleeves. There were times that I wondered "will my hands freeze off, will I die of heat?" If I was out in the sun with no wind it was feeling rather warm, but if the wind was in my face and my back was to the sun, there were times that I thought feeling to my fingers was gone forever! Well I continued on and decided that I "will" continue on and do 6 miles and was greatful to say that "I did survive"! Now I have hope that I can get done with all the other demands of the day!

Today I did yesterdays run backwards. I think I like it that way better. I felt pretty good today, I wore gloves so the hands didn't freeze off, and I was a little more rested. A few hours of sleep when the moon is up makes all the difference for me, even if it's not for very long! I was a little disapointed when I got home and my ipod said the distance was only 5.88 and that my pace was 15 secs. slower. It was the exact same run and I felt sooo much better today. The over all running time was about 2 mins faster and so I'm going to disregaurd what it said and say it must be having technical difficulties today. Well I'm off to try and and get ready to go, we are leaving for SLC around 4:30 and fly out tomorrow! Aloha everyone!

Ran along waikiki beach and main road. Saw a small black tipped shark, and enjoyed our first morning in Hawaii. Run was short, but much to do and see today. Off to the PCC and breakfast at Dukes on the beach. One of our favorite morning resturants !!!

Three miles in Laie, ran around BYU Hawaii campus and around the temple. Nice morning run even though we are a lot jet lagged and got to bed late! Today off to the pinapple plantation, Pearl Harbor and then fly out to Kuaui.

Our first moring in Kuaui, we got in after dark, so we took our morning run to get a look around the place and get an idea of the area. We are new to this Island and it looks to be beautiful. So many crazy chickens all over, beautiful shoreline right in front of our condo. I think the next 5 days we are in for a treat!
