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.

A track workout and a long swim in the ocean.  I usually can tell my fitness level by how easy it is to run a 5 minute mile.  I did a 5:15 on the track which felt pretty hard so I know I need to do some more speed workouts.

Nice!!!!!!!! "A bit chilly, had to wear a shirt". Great comment, I'm still laughing. I ran this morning and felt like the little brother in the timeless classic "The Christmas Story"! It was 9 degrees, but actually a nice run anyway! I like your goal of an Ironman, I will be doing my first in June. I've done a couple half irons, but this is my first attempt at the big race. Good luck!

So, I have to tell you that I was just in Maui and ran the Maui Oceanfront 1/2 marathon. It was so nice. I wasn't planning on doing it but found out about it on the airplane on the way there. You are so lucky to be able to run in those conditions year round.

I did a 1/2 mile warmup and then the 10K race.  My time was pretty good.  There wasn't any competition so I ran the entire race alone ahead of everyone.  I tried to run as hard as I could but I think I slowed down a bit but still a good time.

It seems like running on vacation should be easy, since you have so much "free" time. But for some reason it is actually very hard. Maybe it's the lack of structure. Anyways, welcome home.

AM - 3.2 miles.  So there are 5 weeks until the biggest race on Kauai (Haena to Hanalei 8-mile) I only run about 30 miles a week but I'm going to increase that to over 40 for the next 4 weeks.  I want to do well in the race.  I would like to run lots of miles like other people on this blog but with my family I don't have the time.

Lunch - 5.0 miles.  I am going to to a few 2-a-day workouts so I can get more miles in.  The only problem with my 2-a-day schedule is that I run at about 6:30AM and then about nooon which is only 5 hours apart.  I think most people run the 2nd time after work which would allow more recovery time.  I'll give my schedule a try to see if it works though.

Good luck with the training for your race. And 5 hours rest after runs is sufficient, I would think. Especially since your first run is relatively short, not a 15-miler or anything.

AM - 10.0 miles.  I was going to run shorter and run twice today but I had Ty in the stroller and I was trying to get him to sleep.  He has been sick so I wanted him to have a nap today but unfortunately he never fell asleep. Still a good run on a pretty day.  Now off to the beach for some sand and a BBQ!

Ya, it is fun to spend holidays at the beach. The bad part comes when you have to pay $7-8 for a gallon of milk....and sometimes it goes bad the 2nd day you have it!

Well today was the race I have trained for in the last 5 weeks.  I know 5 weeks isn't a long time but 8 miles isn't a long race either.  Overall I am very happy with my time.  I don't know the mile splits except that the first mile was 5:42.  After 1-1/2 miles the pace felt slow so I took off and wish I could say never looked back but I did look back numerous times because of a pesky side ache that I had from miles 3 to the finish.  Even with the side ache and big hills I ran faster than I thought I could.  In the last 2 miles the 2nd place runner (who happens to be the 1st Hawaiian that finished the Boston Marathon this year) was gaining on me.  I did all I could to just hang on my pace and finished about 20 seconds ahead of him.  My only regret is that stupid side ache that wouldn't go away.... I'm just curious to see what my time would have been without getting a side ache.  Does anybody have tips on how to avoid side aches in races?  Almost every race I run these days I get a side ache.  I've tried eating and drinking different food before the race but maybe it isn't related to food?  I don't know.  Any ideas?

Nice job on the run! You won, even beating that pesky marathon runner. Congrats. Sounds like a great race.

Side aches- I've heard potassium is good, so more oj, potatoes, and bananas? As for how to get rid of them, read this:

http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,265.0.html

No one knows for sure, but the "breathing out with the opposite foot" methods works best for me, if I start as soon as I feel a sideache coming.

From Nic on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 14:47:17 from 72.253.160.40

Thanks, and thanks for the side ache info. I'll have to give those foods a try and that breathing technique. That race got me all motivated about running again so maybe I'll start running 1/2 the miles you run in a week. Your dedication is great.

Nic,

Hey we are going to be in Kauai next week, any suggestions on what to do with family? 4 boys under 10. been to Maui but never to Kauai.

From Nic on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 16:17:01 from 72.253.160.40

I haven't done a lot of the organized tourist things here because going to the beach is fun for us. The best beaches for families are definitely Hanalei and Poipu beach. There are lots of activites like zipline, ATV tours but they have min ages for kids. They have a tubing one down a stream that I think all ages can do. Renting a kayak either at Wailua or Hanalei and going up the freshwater river is also fun. We've done that and fit 2 adults and 2 kids per kayak. I'll have to think some more about other activities. Where are you staying?

From cgbooth23 on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 17:18:40 from 67.136.44.51

WE are staying in a house about a mile west of Poipu. How is the weather this time of year as far as rain on this side of the island?

From Nic on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 20:42:27 from 72.253.160.40

Poipu is the sunnyside. My parents just left today after a 1-1/2 week stay and I think it only rained a couple times but just in the morning. This is a great time to come.

Where is the best place to surf and rent for an intermediate surfer? last year surfing in San Diego I used kind of a in between board I think it was 8ft and was perfect for what I was riding there!

WE fly out tomorrow.

From Nic on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 16:26:13 from 72.253.160.40

Right now the best place to surf is at Hanalei. There is a swell this week so it has been nice. You don't go right by the pier though, you need to go to the next lifeguard station up (NW). In Poipu the Waiohai has bigger waves but you have to be careful not to surf or get pushed into the reef by the beach. The Sheraton is better for beginners if there are waves. Breneckes in Poipu is the best boogie boarding beach. I don't know on where to rent boards. I have never rented but in Popiu and Hanalei you will see numerous places that rent. I have a cheaper costco 8' board a 7' board that you could borrow but you would have to wait until Sun. My wife's sister's family is in town until Sun and they have my boards.

Hey had a great day on the island, we were all up by 5am so we headed to the north shore to see the big waves, pretty impressive, not real consistent so not many surfers... maybe thats just Kauai, I am used to Maui where the Island stops when the surf is big!

Beautiful day, we are thinking of heading the other way tomorrow! Thanks for the info and help!

From Nic on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 18:03:40 from 72.253.160.40

If you're still here you can borrow any of our surfboards, boogie boards, or other beach stuff we have.

From cgbooth23 on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 00:21:11 from 70.95.98.192

Hey thanks, we are having a blast, I haven't even had time to surf with 4 boys 10-3 it keeps us hopping, they have loved the Brenneke body boarding spot! Is there a spot over here in Poipu that has good comsistent surf waves, how is it off the Poipu beach to the right if you are looking out? Where do you live?

From Nic on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 01:26:59 from 66.8.133.227

We live in Lihue right by Costco. That surf spot to the right of Poipu is Waiohai. It is a good spot. You will notice that waves do go all the way up to a reef near the beach so just don't ride a wave all the way to the reef. If you do get pushed up next to the reef don't stand up because there are sea urchins everywhere....just paddle parallel to shore and then back out to the waves. Besides Waiohai the surfing is usually really consistent and probably better waves 1 mile farther down right off of the Beach House restaurant. Surfing there is a little more tricky because the surfing is on top of a reef and the water is shallow. I have only surfed there once.

Today was the sugar mill 10 mile.  There are only 3 races on Kauai a year so I of course get excited for all of them and pick up the training for the races.  I wasn't able to train as much as I would have liked, but it was sufficient.

So my goal was sub 1 hour or 6 minute miles.  At mile 4 I was like 23:30 so on pace and way ahead of everyone.  There was supposed to be a race helper person at the turnaround point telling everyone to turn around.  Well, he wasn't there when I got to the turn around so I ran approx an extra 1.3 miles in around 8 minutes.  So my race was really 11.3 miles.  The road ended so I turned around and on the way back the race helper guy was there who I yelled at (I could have been a little nicer but that screwed up 1 of only 3 races on this island!).  It turns out I was the only one that ran the extra distance.  I got focused again and just started picking off people and found out with 2 miles to go there was only 2 people ahead.  I passed #2 and with about 250m to go was close to #1.  I tried to sprint but almost puked so I had to slow down a little.  The #1 guy slowed down too which made it even easier to sprint by him with 100m to go.

So I'm happy I still won and got a gift certificate for gas.  I'm dissapointed I don't know my actual time but oh well.  11.3 miles in 1:09 would probably mean I would have been under my 1 hour goal.

Hey, just curious- have you ever done the Kauai marathon? Or is it new? I saw it is in Sept 2010.

From Nic on Sat, Oct 31, 2009 at 18:40:06 from 66.8.133.227

Thanks. You did amazing at your 50 miler too. My goal for 2011 is to run the Western States 100. It runs right past my parents home in CA. I know I'll have to pick up the training significantly. Yes, the Kauai Marathon is new. 2009 was the first year. I didn't do it because I wasn't training for a marathon but also because it's on Sunday. I tried to get the RD to change the day to Saturday but we wouldn't budge. You coming to Kauai?

From Jon on Sun, Nov 01, 2009 at 14:03:38 from 128.217.211.62

As much as we would enjoy another trip to Kauai for a marathon, I'll be doing the Bear 100 in Sept. Sounds like we'll both be training for 100's.
