Personal:

I live in Kauai, Hawaii with my wife and 3 kids.  I ran x-country and track in high school. I had too much fun in college and never tried out for the teams. I graduated from BYU Provo.

My wife's blog is http://hulagirlclark.blogspot.com

Welcome to the blog! I am totally jealous fo your running in the Lagoons. I LOVE Hawaii but my husbands cabinet business just wouldn't be very prosperous there dangit. How long have you lived there and how long do you plan on staying?

From Nic on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 03:02:36

I have been here for 1-1/2 years and will be here for at least 1 more year. Hawaii is great because you can run year round without a jacket.

From Maria on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 12:17:35

Welcome to the blog...with a scenery like the lagoons I guess my legs could go on forever...I must say that I too live in a country where you can run withour a jacket almost all year round.

I'm jealous that you live in Lihue. We visited Kauai and loved it. I have fond memories of running the Sleeping Giant in a hard rainstorm. Although I will say that you sweat a lot more and your running clothes absolutely stink running in that weather.

I decided to do a track work out to see how hard it is.  I did 1 mile in 5:20 then (4) 400s ranging from 72-75 and (1) 300.  I was dissapointed with the race last Saturday but now I know it's because I need to do lots more speed workouts.

I'm envious of your living in Hawaii, what a great place, it is my dream to move my family over there for a year and live, don't know if I will figure out a way to do it while the kids are young! Have you always lived there?

No one will accuse you of being too verbose in your blog entries... :) But the gorgeous scenery in the picture to the left more than makes up for it. Is that at the top of the Waimea canyon?

Yeah, I ran in college at a DII place in Colorado. It is hard to run so much now since I have a full time job and a 100 mile commute each day- during the running season I really don't do much other than work, family, run, and sleep. When it is warm, I try to take the jogging stroller so my wife gets a break from theh kids.

We were in Kauai a few years ago and loved it. We hiked the first few miles on the Napali trail- I can't imagine running the whole thing round trip in one day. That would be tough. Are you right in Lihue?

No run today.  My shins have been hurting for almost a year so I went a Orthopedic sports Dr.  My guess is stress fractures which I have had before.  The Doc is going to do a bone scan to see if it is stress fractures...if so,then no running for a while.

Thanks for the welcome message. It's good to be inolved in something like this. I hope I'm doing this message correctly. I've never been to Kauai yet, maybe someday soon. If I am ever out that way, we should definitely go run. If you are ever out this way, it would be great to run out here as well.

From Jeremy on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 21:18:43

I'm originally from Garden Grove California, very close to Disney Land. Grew up there, but after my mission I ended up at BYU-Hawaii. Then I married my wife, who went to UH-Manoa (she ran cross country/track too). We decided to stick around here for a while. Currently in grad school at UH-Manoa. Did you grow up in Kauai? How do you like over there, besides the fact that there aren't many races... :(
