Mikem after 44 Plus Hours of Running with the Warriors of Kaeokulani? I believe I have topped myself for pure unadulterated painful ventures. I have managed to write a 'report', actually a piece or story, of the recent 'run' around Oahu. It's likely a bit long for some, well most, but it's not a bad piece actually. So for those…
Reading stuff about plyometrics. Can't figure out if it is BS. Any advice? Nick
I adapted Bruddah Iz's song in tribute to Mike for all his recent mind bobbling adventures: The HURT Superman Told is the tale of the mischievous one Who ran around the island and made it look fun His deeds and tasks I will unmask, so that you'll understand That before there was a Clark Kent,…

However I offer this as piece in progress. Many thanks to all the wonderful friends who came out and helped and…

I was just at Costco today, and they have High Sierra Hydration backpacks on sale for just under $20. No pockets accessible from the front, but it has three compartments and 67 oz. bladder. – Andy
HURT enjoys the privilege of partnerships with State and Federal agencies that hold the responsibility of protecting Oʻahu public lands. Those partnerships are based upon mutual trust and cooperation and shared concerns for the ʻaina. To keep that trust and continue to be provided the opportunity to host trail events, we (HURT) must understand and abide by rules that govern our partner agencies.
HURT does organize and facilitate official trail maintenance only when coordination with our partners has occurred. All trail work is performed under the supervision of a permitted individual with advance permissions. Some trails are off-limits for HURT to perform trail maintenance due to the sensitive flora. No HURT trail maintenance will occur outside of these parameters.
HURT and its partner agencies require that no self-directed trail maintenance occur on publicly-owned trails. Any individuals performing trail work outside of official HURT-organized events, are doing so on their own accord and will be held personally responsible by State and Federal agencies for any violations. Such activity could jeopardize our relationships with partner agencies and lead to inability to use public lands for our events.
