Sat. Training Alt. 4-3-10 Makapu’u Lighthouse Run
Just in case someone wants to hang on the windward side, I'm running from my house in Kailua to the Makapu'u lighthouse, and may keep going around. Who knows? If you want an adventure run with no drops or way back to your car besides running, let me know. This will be a casual run…
Back to Running…..in California
After a stressful 6 month sabbatical and binging a little I am now sober and back to running. I have been in California since Dec. 26 wainting for my divorce to go through and started my running two weeks ago with a 7 mile trail run (1:45). Then it struck me hard…..the fever broke and…
The Big Island Traverse – A hui hou
Our eight year Hawaii sojourn is rapidly coming to a close, with a mainland departure slated for early June 2010. My wife Diane has finished the didactic portion of her PhD and will defend her dissertation on April 23rd. She will then complete a yearlong clinical internship and another year of postdoc work in Newington,…
Trail Light Alert
Just a note to let you know that Costco has a pair of "Techlight Tactical" lights for sale for about $20. There is a $5 off coupon in their latest mailing. Fifteen bucks for 2 good lights! The posted power is 160 lumens. It seems a fair assessment of the light. Not quite as good…
Oh….What a Night!

Ran for Hope
If you saw all of those yellow shirts at the finish, those were children and their family who are battling cancer. I ran for them and this is my race report. I never felt stronger. http://cancerrunner.typepad.com/dailyposts/
Go ahead and run in bare feet. Please!
I'm ruminating. Which means I am not trying to sell anything except a hard time. And I usually just give that away. But I'm bothered by the recent slew of bare foot running articles by people who don't seem to know their feet from their anal sphincter. The most recent article was about Kenyan runners who…
A Quick Note about Kelli (i.e. Kelli’s Krew Pink Shirts)
My friends, Many of you know about Kelli and her fight against cancer. She recently completed a very aggressive chemotherapy regime that left her very sick for several weeks. Last week Tuesday, just before HURT, she had surgery. Kelli promised me that she would see me run HURT. Given the pain that she still has…
And another one!
I'd like to add another "mahalo nui" to a party that has not been mentioned yet, but surely has not been forgotten by anyone who has been out on the course recently, and that's our friends from the DLNR. Fred, Aaron, and the team did a stunning job this year clearing the trails and removing…
