You know the best way to get out of a running slump? RUN! That's what I did this morning. I wore my iPod and listened to upbeat and uplifting tunes. It kept my mind occupied and I think that really helped! I did my new favorite route - around Diamond Head - with a little bonus run part way into the crater.

There is a Strava segment called Pokapahu Climb. It is the road into Diamond Head Crater. It is 3/10th of a mile with an average grade of 15.2%! I really didn't push myself on it today, I was just trying to find my way and I still captured 9th overall of women. I'll be hitting that again to see how high up I can climb in the rankings!
When I got to this tunnel, I turned around and headed back out of the park and finished my loop. I can't believe I caught this surfer with my iPhone!

About halfway around the crater, I passed a couple. As we exchanged "good mornings" the man said, "You're the best dressed runner I've ever seen." Thanks, sir, you made my day!
