Ocean road out-and-back this morning. Relaxed on the way out, then did the workout on the way back in. Distances were .23, .23, .22, .23, .22, .23, .23, .24, .23, .23, .23 and .23. The .22's I had were against some heavy wind, so overall these were really consistent and felt pretty good (besides the sideache I had for most of it). Good workout and glad to be back feeling reasonably fresh! Knock on wood. Gosh my shoes are DEAD. (Adrenaline 572.9)

Iliili out-and-back this morning. My whole upper body is sore and I can't figure why! The run was really relaxed and slow and it was fine. My left foot was achy for most of it, probably from needing new shoes. A nice recovery run from yesterday's workout. Avg. 8:20/mi. (DS3 484.2)

My whole body is exhausted! Again! Yesterday I went on my first ever scuba dive and it wore me out. All that gear is heavy! So, today's run was way slow. I was so tempted to slack off this morning since the boys' school started, but I'm glad (now) that I got up freaking early. Avg. 8:25/mi. (Adrenaline 572.9)

Last run on this island! It's insane how fast time flies. Ran the Iliili loop nice and early. I got rained on (just for old time's sake, I guess) and nearly got run over in Iliili! Once on the main road, I did the 8x20 second pickups; they went well and easily. Still have that crappy sideache from forever ago, though. My legs felt tons fresher today and the run mostly flew by. Avg. 8:06/mi. (DS3 493.2)

Late tonight my flight leaves to go HOME! As long as the Honolulu Airport has lockers, I can still get my run in for tomorrow during my 10 hour layover.

Arrrrgh! I am so angry about today! The Honolulu Airport SUCKS! I flew in at 5:30 am and didn't leave until 3 pm. In the 10 hours I spent there, I should've been able to get a run in, but there weren't any lockers and if I left my carry-on bags anyway they would've been "confiscated and destroyed." Angry face. After 24 hours in transit, I finally got home at 3:15 am on Saturday. So, it looks like I get a big fat ugly goose egg for today.  >:(

After getting home and situated, I decided to forgo the possible 20-minute-night's-sleep and just pulled an all nighter! At 5 am, I met up with MarcieJ and company, we got dropped off up on the marathon course and ran down it. It was awesome to run with fun ladies and enjoy the cool morning. Marcie was fresh as ever and wore me out! The legs were pretty stiff from no run and sitting around all day yesterday, plus the feet are begging for now shoes. Exhausted! Record number of yawns on the run made today: 11. Good run overall, avg. 7:36/mi. (Adrenaline 389.9 - retired!)

 SGRC to the rescue! Got the Asics 2130 later today - hope they turn out as good as they felt at the store.
