In my mind, the best way to train for the H.U.R.T. 100 is to get out on the course and put in the miles. Of course, living here in Hawaii makes that easy, the course is 20 minutes from my house. This past Saturday I ran two loops or 40 miles. It wasn’t fast (or…
Aloha Athletes ! Congratulations to all who came out and played in the mud last Saturday. It definitely reminded me of my childhood. A big Mahalo to both PJ for her aid station, and to Kat for her stash. Thanks girls ! With the clock ticking, we have another tough training day planned for this…
I am posting this H.U.R.T. 100 entrant list to let you know who is entered as of today. So far it looks like a lot of strong and fast women are planning on being in Honolulu on January 14th and 15th. I’ve heard talk of someone breaking 24 hours this year? Who’s going to do…

My own personal H.U.R.T. training was nil this past weekend as work and family (soccer) commitments kept me off the trails. I did get a new pair of Montrail Hardrocks (Fleet Feet Kailua is now stocking the Hardrocks) to replace my Highlines so I am ready to hit the trails. Somehow being ready to hit…

This past Friday evening several of us met for a night training run on the H.U.R.T. 100 course. I should have known it was going to be one of those nights when I called Cheryl as I was leaving Kailua and she told me it was already raining pretty hard in Manoa. It was a…
Don asked me to post this e-mail to the blog about LED lights. The latest Lowe’s Home Improvement advertisement has a couple of interesting looking LED lights. One is a 1-watt handheld for $19.97 and they also have a 1-watt headlamp if anyone is interested for the same cost. These might be a good choice…
