Well my day started at 0100 after not being able to sleep.  I drank about 6 cups of coffee and gorged on some food.  My wife and kids drove me to the start and we got there at 0500.  After helping set up I payed my $10 entry fee, went to the bathroom, and then…

‘Disgustingly Phenomenal’ is what I was mumbling repeatedly to the guys in the lead of yesterday’s Peacock 54.  To give you an idea of how phenomenal I am talking about, just so you don’t think I’m misusing the word—I had taken a few yard slide along the ridge trail and was washing the mud off…

Sunday saw a small group including Monica and Phil  heading out from Manoa toward Jack-ass.  I was a bit late and played catchup.  It was a beautiful day and I caught a few shots on the way out.  I added a few of the group on the way back.  Also in the set are some…

Sometimes, there is nothing like running solo.  No iPod, no conversation – just time to run and think about anything to pass the time.  This last Sunday, I stepped out around 5:30am for a long overdue South Loop beginning from home in Kailua.  The weather was nice and of course hardly any traffic at this…

I have entered a special challenge and hope others will join in on the fun.  It only requires a $20 entry fee and the ability to run one mile one day, then two miles the next and so on and so forth until you quit.  50% of the proceeds go to NAMI, an organization that…

Most of the HURT Crowd was busy doing things, and there were only a few HURT runners in a large crowd of people who did run.  I was up on the hill, where I gave everyone a hard time…quite enjoyable.  My shots are mostly of the valley, sorry. for not getting more of the other…

Sometime on Friday Don Fallis got to thinking about the Jack-ass Stash, and he tells me he naturally thought of me.  Must be because I know so much about Nu’uanua Valley, or that I work there a lot, or that I one lived there, or that I do really well climbing up that trail.   I…

Anyone interested?  Or is everyone heading to North Shore for Peacock training?  If anyone is interested let me know, pretty flexible with times. Can start from Paradise or NC, one loop, maybe more????? doogcp21@hotmail.com -Doug

Aloha Athletes ! With this Saturday being two weeks away from the Peacock 54 HURT Trail Series race, we will have a special "orientation run" especially for those who have had little or no time on the course. If you are NOT familiar with the course, we HIGHLY advise you to make it out this…

UPDATED Greetings Everyone, I just wanted to say that I was running Peacock today and checked both water stashes at the intersecton and there is only 8-10 gallons of water left and a lot of trash.  I can go back up next week sometime if no one else can do it.  Just leave a comment,…
