Weekly Report

Another week has come and gone.  We are back in California.  While we are here the time change will take place (Fall Back on November 3rd), but it won't happen in Hawaii.  They don't change their clocks.  This means we will only be two hours different and jetlag won't be quite as bad, but it also means it will still be dark in the mornings in Hawaii.

Weekly Review

It's been good to be back in Hawaii. Since I was sick most of the time we were home last, it felt really good to be here!  I did not have a plan for this week, my marathon training for a non-marathon ended last week.  I didn't follow it perfectly, but it really helped me get back on track.

Sunday
Result:  Ran 8.07 miles in 1:33:11, 11:33 pace.
Humidity, I did not miss you!

Monday
Result:  Walked 3.3 miles

Tuesday
Result:  Ran 6.02 miles in 1:10:12, 10:10 pace
I woke up really sore this morning, so I decided to take it easy and just run at Ala Moana Park (no hills!)  Once I started running, I felt great!  Key point - get out the door even when you don't feel like it, you might surprise yourself!

Wednesday
Result:  Ran 7.3 miles in 1:17:00, 10:33 pace
Ran up the Diamond Head Crater this day.  After a few days, the humidity doesn't bother me as much.  I've definitely adjusted this year.

Thursday
Result: Walked 2.4 miles

Friday
Result:  Ran 10 miles in 1:49:48, 10:59 pace
This was my second attempt at running completely around Tantalus Mountain.  I pushed hard and was happy with my results.  Some interesting stats:

Ave HR 147, max 161
Burned 782 calories
Elevation gained 1,437
PTE (Peak Training Effect) 3.2

10 miles in 1:49:48, 10:59 pace (I ran past my car to get the full 10 miles!)
Ave HR 155, max 167
Burned 894 calories
Elevation gained 1,434

It's tough no matter which way I go!

Also walked 4.1 miles in the evening - dinner, watched sun set and moon rise, and a stop for ice cream!

Saturday
Result: Walked 3.88 miles in 56:40, 14:37 pace
I knew I would be sore from yesterday's run, so I planned a very easy run/walk.  I ran parts of the first two miles, but my legs were dead so I just decided to enjoy the beautiful morning.  I watched the moon set and the sun rise!

Running 31.39
Walking 13.68

Blog Neglect

Slacker!  That's me!  We flew home and I didn't blog at all.  I was really sick for about 10 days, so there wasn't much to write about.  I'm not going to bore you with all the details of every run or ride, but here's a recap of each week:
