I was reading over on John Vonhof’s Happy Feet blog about the Hersey Custom Shoe Company. Pretty cool in today’s mass produced and mass marketed world that there are still people who make a business out of custom made shoes. These are not custom fitted shoes but each shoe is custom made for the buyers…

Happy Holidays to everyone! No formal training is planned for this weekend. Some people may be going out on their own or in small groups. Its taper time and also time to relax a bit and enjoy family and friends. The trails remain dry! Be safe out there and good training! Aloha, Bob
I hope you were lucky enough to get out on the trails over the last couple of days. I got in 60 miles over two days on the driest trails we have had in a long time. Saturday the H.U.R.T. course was in awesome shape. Had the race been run over the last two days,…

This past Saturday I was able to get out on the trails after some scheduled work fell through. I had put in a long week of work-related late nights and fighitng off a cold so I wasn’t sure how the day would go. As it turned out, the trails were the driest (not sure of…

This past Saturday several of us were scheduled to run from the entrance of Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden out to Waimanalo and back. This is about 30 miles. When I showed up at about 5:50 a.m. I was surprised to see so many people. As we gathered around in the darkness, I began to make out…

A non-running story………….Jeff Huff and I have season tickets to UH Basketball and see each other (across the court) at games all year. We have suffered many “almost” great years and have remained loyal as best we could. This years opening game (Saturday) was against 4th ranked Michigan State and as is his practice Jeff…
The 2006 version of the Mystery Run is officially postponed. As of the deadline (Sunday), we have 5 entrants. Last year we had 22! Very sorry but it’s way too much work and too long a night for 5 people. Perhaps training for HURT 6 has a big effect on entries, perhaps it’s just too…
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.
