Holy HUMID!!!!! Hawaii is so dry compared to Pago Pago. Most of the time the humidity is at about 80%. By the time my run ended I was completely drenched - eew. It did sprinkle rain a tad, but that didn't really get me any wetter. I kind of got lost at one point, but I made it back home alive. I'd better get used to this, since I'm going to have fun with it all summer! 7:46/mi avg. (DS3 264.9) After breakfast, we went on a hike up Mount Alava. It was long and tiring, but the view at the top was amazing! I'll put some pictures on here once I get a bit more time. I think the round trip was a bit more than 7 miles. Tiring, but awesome!

| Another easy run - 7 miler - I ran on the main road (again) out along the coastline earlier in the morning today. I brought a rock along this time to keep the dogs away - there are TONS of wild dogs here and most of them are scared off by acting like you're throwing a rock at them, but some are a bit more persistent, so I brought along a real rock this time. Of course, since I was prepared, I didn't run into as many really fiesty dogs this morning. Figures. The salty air along the coast was so refreshing and great and the people here are so friendly. I like it here. :) 7:55/mi avg. (Adrenaline 267.5)

| My legs were sore in very odd ways today from all the snorkeling we did yesterday, so I'm pretty sure this run would be slow slow slow. So I ran naked along the same route I did yesterday, just out and back again. At the turnaround I stopped and watched the waves crashing into the rock for a while and almost caught a couple of crabs and skinks (close, but no cigar). Tiring, but a nice run. My left foot has been hurting lately, I'm not liking it much at all. (DS3 271.4)
After the run, my nephews wanted to go running with me, so we ran about a half mile really slowly with lots of stops and walking. The biggest problem was Ila, the dog, coming along too and trying to pick fights with every dog along our way. Fun still, though! | Comments(9) |

| Inevitably, I miss something important when I pack for a trip. A week into this summer-long vacation, I now realize that I've forgotten my Garmin charger. Yup, I'm an idoit. Hopefully it'll get here soon, because I'm really sick of the two out-an-back runs I have right now. And I wish I'd bought a new pair of shoes for later in the summer when my shoes wear out. Oh well. Anyway, it was pouring rain today for about half of my run - the first half and the last half - so I got completely soaked and was dripping drenched by the time I'd finished my 5.5 mile run this morning. My legs still feel kinda worn out, so I just took it easy again. After the run, my oldest nephew, Everett (he's 8), wanted to go running with me again, this time without the dog or his little brother. So, we ended up running out-and-back for a total of 1.5 miles. It was mostly pretty slow jogging with him trying to outsprint me every so often(oh no, 7:00 pace, I can't handle it), so it was kind of a funny run. He did really well, though, for only his second run and I hope he sticks with it! (Adrenaline 274.5)

Same run as on Tuesday - 7-miler out toward
Utulei and back. No watch again, though. I'm saving its final bit of
charge for my long run tomorrow. Hopefully it'll last long enough! Just
another so-so run. I'm kinda getting lonely with nobody to run with
here. Maybe I'll find a buddy or two at church or somewhere so I'm not
so bored. Cross fingers! (DS3 278.4) And
my nephews wanted to run again, but this time they insisted on running
at a track. So we found a track to run on. It was under construction
and was pretty haggard looking, but it worked for them to run on.
Everett wanted to race me, so we ran 200m of a 'race.' The first 100m,
I stayed mostly with him, then got bored, so I all-out sprinted the
last bit just for fun.

| Got dropped off in Asili on our way home from the beach and ran back 8 miles. Almost home I nearly got eaten by a rather frightening wild dog. Then I yelled and threw a rock and it backed off. I'm going to start running with my pepper spray, just in case. This week I've been eating like crap and so this run felt like crap! Woo hoo. I'll try and be better next week. But the Samoan barbeques are SO tasty... I'll try to moderate my junk/extremely greasy-food intake, though. It'll be worth it when I finally get a good run in next week! Avg. 7:44/mi.
