I knew this week was going to be a little challenging. We flew home on Tuesday and jet lag reeked havoc the rest of the week. I did have a good long run today, so all things considered this was a successful week!
Sunday: Rest Day
Result: Rested, kind of! Les raced in the Dick Evans Memorial Road Race on Oahu. 112 miles with about 100 of his closest Hawaiian friends! I volunteered to work one of the feed zones and I'll do a full write up soon. Everyone should volunteer at a race sometime, it's a fun experience. I should have worn my Suunto since I was on my feet from 7:00 to 10:00.
Monday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: Hiked 2.8 miles in 1:05:31
This was our last day on Oahu for a while, so we decided to hike the trail to the Makapu'u Lighthouse Overlook. Over 400 feet of climbing later and the views were spectacular.
Also walked 4.1 miles
Tuesday: 5 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Result: Ran 4 miles in 39:56, 9:59 pace.
I went for flat and fast, then it was time to pack and sit.
Wednesday: Rest Day
Result: Rested. We got in bed about 1:00 a.m., which was only 10:00 p.m. Hawaii time. But mornings are tough when you travel east.
Thursday: 5 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: Ran 5.03 miles on the trail in 59:05, 11:44 pace
Still feeling sluggish, but I was glad when I finally drug myself out of bed and hit the trail.
Friday: 5 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: Rested, I just needed one more day to deal with jet lag.
Saturday: 12 Miles LSD (pace 10:04-11:04)
Result: Ran 12 miles in 2:04:27, 10:27 pace
I was so pleased with today's run! We were out late last night and I didn't sleep very well. I told Les, "I am going to run 12 miles, no matter how long it takes me!" My splits for the first 8 miles were amazing. I was averaging about 10:10. Miles 9 and 10 were tough, then I finished strong.
