Wanted to get a few miles in this morning - legs felt pretty good. tM 'o doom.

Early morning tM 'o doom-fest. Hit 4.11 then work was calling - a spending a few great hrs VPN'd in went back for round two - 3.35. Last half at about 6:30 pace. I think the tM 'o doom might be on its last leg - literally...

Early morning tM 'o doom-fest. Pushed last mile. Angel where art thou...

Early morning tM 'o doom-fest. Not going to miss that for a few days... Bring on the sun...

Oh.. traded in the tM 'o doom for a sweet sunrise trail run in Ko 'Olina. Need I say more...

Early morning Beach trail run with G-doctoreous. Headed up passed all the homeless compunds to the end of the pavement on the west side of Oahu and hit the Ka'ena State park trail that wraps around the entire west/north point of the island. Unreal - stuff.....Running past sacred burial grounds mountains, ocean, cliffs, some bird preserve out on the point... This is why I run...

Early morning run with G. Just explored around the ko 'olina - followed some rail tracks for a bit and then hit the beach trail to finish it up. 

Morning run with G-monsterdomous. Headed up to the Aiea trail loop. This loop starts in the Keaiwa state park. The 'Aiea Loop Trail, which marks one of the most accessible entrances to the mighty Ko'olau Mountains, Kea'iwa Hei'au:  An old, sacred Hawaiian ground that was used for healing. The stone platforms--set in the original pattern by the ancients--sit silently near the gates of the park. Here, the spirits of ancestors still roam.... I feel bad for people that miss all this awesome stuff. Great run with awesome views - single track - good ups and downs....

Sweet Run Baby!! Maunawili Trail - with waterfall extention. Thought we (Gdoctorous now known as Mr. Maunawili ) would get the jump on rush hour traffic to get over to the trail head off the Pali Hwy hahaha left at 6 am and got to the trail head around 8:30 Lame-O. Once we were on the trail though... it was all worth it. Unreal views and mountain running. Trail was 5 star. Ridgeline running looking at the Jungle mountains... Great way to end some great trail running over here in O'ahu!!

Wanted to get outside today, but snow... so, back to the tM of doom. Got into a groove watching Battlestar. Incline 1.0. 9.11 miles avg prob around 8:10's for the run.

Early morning tM 'o doom-fest. Nothing good on tV this morning - so a tad bit boring run. But a good sweat none the less.

Well tM 'o doom bit the dust this morning.. Decided to do some ladder intervals so with a 1 mile warm up hit a .25 .50 .75 1.0 .75 with a .25 in between. After the second .75 kaboom - the tM support board crumpled like a soda can..

In honor of the fallen tM no running.

Got some new 2150's so had to try them out.... Felt good. Since the tM is kaput hit the local HAF (local gym). Got in a decent run.

Tough run this morning!! Decided to brave the cold 11 degree start temp, but knew I needed to get outside. Ran over and up Trappers loop and up the Snowbasin road to the look out and then back down the turn off and down Trappers until Jamie picked me up (only 23 degrees). Started feeling a little stomach issues on the snowbasin road - probably due to the fact all I had eaten today was 2 GU packs. Felt good to be on my feet that long though...Peace-N-Peace-Out.

Time: 2:36:13

After work tM run. Decided to hit the in-laws tM. Moved the incline all over the place and tried to push the last few miles. Legs felt fine from Sat's run.

Early morning tM 'o ? (ideas) - headed across the wasteland in neg 3 weather this morning. I thought spring was right around the corner?? Incline and speed moving around. Good stuff. New shoes rubbing a bit on the left foot.... not good said the joker to the thief...

After work pig farm trail run with T-bone. Rained on us most of the time. Earlier snow had melted off.. Wet mess. Good stuff.

Early morning tM-n-law run. Incline and speed a bit all over, but prob averaged just under 8's for the run... Need a good one tomarro...

Sweet trail run with Shane today. A couple great things about the run actually. Drove over to Wheelers Trail head and put on the new hpl 020 race vest... awesome. Never buged once during the run - great news - also ran with a hand held. We went up wheelers - ice box and up maples to the coldwater canyon trail head. Trail pretty good to the green pond cut off then it got a bit soft. Once up at the snowbasin we ran the groomed trailed down to the green pond trail and ran back down ice box and wheelers. Beautiful day - and 'G only went down once in the deep stuff.
