Kicking Off 2014!


Les and I were up until the New Year - California time!  10:00 p.m. Hawaii time was bedtime for us because we both had big plans for this morning.  Les is still gone on a bike ride.  I kicked off the new year with 10.84 miles.  I ran Tantalus, with a little additional spur.


That spur is called the Pu'u 'Ualaka'a State Park.  It was just under a mile out and back, but had some bite to it.  There is about a third mile that is straight up at more than 9% grade.  I hit this just after the 7 mile mark - it hurt!


There is a scenic overlook and as always, the views are worth the pain!




There are also a bunch of roosters on Tantalus.  It's fun hearing them waking up the neighborhood since I'm already awake.  Not sure I'd want them for neighbors if I was a night owl!


Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!  Happy New Year!  Here's to a fabulous 2014!
