This race-pace training run up on the N. Shore at Peacock has generated some interest and discussion. Who would have thought so many people would be willing to give up shopping at Ala Moana on a Saturday in December to go run 50 miles? Apparently quite a few people. The only other explanation is these…
Aloha Athletes ! It looks like all the planets are in line and we are going to finally be able to do the long-awaited Peacock 50 training run/race. So you are asking "what is a training run/race?" Well, it’s a training run at race-pace…you know, kind of a competitive training run, where everybody starts at…
Dear trail workers: THANK YOU so much for the great response to my last blog message! We are going to have a good Aihualama , and Manoa Cliff day in the upcoming weeks. We will have a trail tech from Na Ala Hele with us on the Wednesday Aihualama day, to share his expertise! …
I received this from Judy Carluccio via e-mail: I took Cheryl on a trail that was a dirt version of Concrete Road – steep and relentless…….and ended with some snowcover. We had a blast in Liberty Lake County Park. Saw a deer, but the pic was dark. See you in January. …
I have taken the windmill and hidden it well. Where it is, no one can tell. If you are the one to find it on the HURT loop then please pick it up and hide it somewhere hard to find (I sure hope Fish doesn’t mind). I do believe, after all, the windmill belongs to…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Thanksgiving weekend at our doorstep and many things planned with family and friends it seems appropriate to make this a "do what you want" training weekend. There are rumors of Wednesday night HURT loops and even the possibility of a Peacock Flats run on Saturday, but these are only rumors,…

The healthcare team did not accurately…
I will be scheduling a couple of trail maintenance days during the first 3 weeks of December. It’s hard to get in work days around training and the holidays, but it is the best time to clean up the trail so the training runners can enjoy it a little, and so the trails will settle…
Aloha Athletes ! We will be returning to the HURT 100 course for two HURT 20 mile loops, starting at 6:00 am at Paradise Park. Please park in the usual location at the end of Manoa Rd. just before it narrows, heading back to Paradise Park. Please try to be there by 5:50 am, so…
Aloha Athletes ! We’ve been planning for several weeks to do the Peacock Preview this Saturday, but are still waiting to get the green light from the powers that be. Gordon is hoping to get approval, but you just never know in these matters. Hopefully we will hear by Thursday afternoon, but if not, we’ll…
Cheryl and I were just out to do a clean up at one of the drops and make sure it was stocked for the Friday/Saturday training sessions. It didn’t take us long to clean things up, and restock and we were ready to go back to the cars. Standing there on the trail, it was…
Here’s a couple of pictures from Mike’s Birthday Breakfast. The menu: Breakfast burrito’s with eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, salsa and sour creme, fruit, and coffee. Hmmm? Could be a sign of things to come for a certain aid station in Nuuanu. Click on each to enlarge them.
