Yet another night run

Once I saw the planned training run this weekend at Gordon’s secret spot I was excited and had planned on being there.  However scheduling conflicts with my wife have made it necessary for me to do another night run on Friday.  I’ll be leaving from the water tower near the Nature Center at 8PM.  My…

PLAIN 100

I just spoke with Jim Masterson on the phone and he finished the PLAIN 110 in about 35 hours.  He is doing good.  I am not sure when he comes back but hope fully soon I cant wait to hear all about it. Devon Webb

Friday night lights

Just a short note to let everyone know that, because of what I feel was a poor performance by me in the last Triple Trek, I’m planning on doing two HURT loops starting Friday night at around 8PM.  My plan is to do a 6 hour first loop and 6:15-6:30 second loop.  I’m hoping some…

Shock and Awe

I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this 8 year old girl who ran 2,212 miles in 55 days (about 40 miles a day).  You can read (or listen) to the story here.  I thought a lot of people here might find the story interesting, but I hope it doesn’t upset…

A Hard Lean Horse

It beat us up bad, no opinions to the contrary.  Everyone has blisters and muscle problems and we are all hobbling around and making those long groaning sounds when we stand up or sit down.  Mean and brutal are the common assessments of the Lean Horse experience for the HURT team members.  Unpaved road, should…

Hurricane HURT Loop

                           Don‘t let Flossie be bossie; let’s go running! Providing Flossie continues to follow physical law, behavioral norms and societal convention, the plan is to do a probable wet HURT loop on Thursday, August 16, 2007. Start: Paradise Park at 0830 (Flexible on start time; however,…

Maunawili What?

The air was warm and heavy with moisture even at 7:00 am as we all stood in grass just back from the Pali Overlook. Modern day warriors, men and women of Oahu, coming together in the killing grounds of the last great Hawaiian battlefield, waiting for the race stages to move out. Each filtering down…
