Contrary to Urban myth, I survived the hit and run by that crazy ass skateboarder and the goaring by the giant boar of Pu'uohia. It was a tough go but I made it. Mikem has asked me to post occasionally on his where abouts. I'll comment on this post as needed. Right now Mike is scheduled to…
Can anyone provide information on large the tree that is down, blocking the trail on Nuuanu? I plan on joining MM tonight for his birthday run. I always bring a foldable saw when running the trails. I would like to know if what I'm carrying will do any good for clearing some of the limbs….
Some last minute stuff about where and what :
Well as Don would say, “Guys and Gals, Mikey has talked himself into some stupid stuff, but this ices the cake, the birthday cake that is."
Early Saturday morning, I was asleep in my bed and contently dreaming of slowly waking up, feasting on hot malasadas, watching some college football and happily getting chubby while doing each of these activities. To my great surprise, however, I was awakened by my son saying "Dad…dad, get up, I got to tell you something." …

Interesting article in the NY Times on Ultrarunning and toenail removal. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html My favorite quote is "You know any sport has gone off the rails when you have to remove body parts to do it,” said Christopher McDougall, the author of a recent book about ultrarunning called “Born to Run.”
aloha HURT gang! Here is the skinny on Chicago: We re-conned the course the day before by "hanging out" on the 103rd floor of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. I could tell that Nate was drooling over getting his BASE jumping career going early. We blindly put our faith in engineers and architects like Senelly…
Planning to push out from Paradise Park around 5:30pm for a HURT double. If you are doing Peacock Flats as a training run, then this is a good build. If you are racing Peacock Flats, think twice. Not planning to drop supplies around except at Paradise Park. Working on nutrition and slow pace endurance, so…
You can follow Matt's progress at today's Chicago Marathon here. As of this writing, Matt has passed the 10K mark in 00:35:02, on track for a sub 2:30 finishing time! Update: Matt's split half-way: 01:14:37 – still on target! Update: Matt's struggling a little, but it still looks like a new PR for him –…
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.
