This Week

Our view yesterday morning

It's been a busy, busy week!  We bought a car on Sunday, but I have determined not to drive it unless the trip is over 5 miles.  That means I'm still walking to the grocery store and the zoo and the bike store and...

This is my highest mileage week this year!  Keeping track of all the walking I'm doing is really making a difference.  I've started a new game when I'm out walking.  I look ahead and find the next person on the sidewalk who is also walking, then I pick up my pace to see how long it takes to pass them.  This really helps me to focus, otherwise I just get slower and slower!  It works!

Sunday - Rested
It was pouring, plus we had scheduled to meet the seller of a 2002 Saturn at 9:00.  We ended up buying it - our second Saturn!

Monday - Ran 5.04 in 1:06:19, 13:10 pace.
I was experiencing a lot of knee pain so did quite a bit of walking.
Also walked to the bike shop - 5 miles.

Tuesday - Walked 6 miles.
Here, there, and everywhere!

Wednesday - Ran 9.10 miles in 1:39:56, 10:59 pace
I wore different shoes and my knee was much better!  I ran around Diamond Head going counterclockwise, I think this direction is much tougher.
I also did a ton of walking this day!  I dropped our car off to be detailed, then walked to Don Quijote's (groceries) and home.  Later, I walked back to pick up the car.  Total walked 5.3 miles.

Thursday - Walked 6.8 miles
A trip to the zoo and some wandering in Waikiki.  Special treat at the zoo was watching three lion cubs.  They are 3 months old and have only been on exhibit a couple of weeks.

Friday - Walked 3 miles
Met Les for lunch, then took another trip to Don Q's.

Saturday - Ran 9.02 miles in 1:37:54, 10:52 pace.
Another trip around Diamond Head, this time I went clockwise.  It's tough, just not quite as tough as counterclockwise.
Also walked to AMFM (Ala Moana Farmer's Market)  2 miles.

Totals
Running:  23.15
