Jagged little line
When Runkeeper said I’d run nearly two miles at an 8:08 pace, I knew it was too good to be true. Especially in this blistering heat. After I saw the route on the map, I could see it was bouncing me back and forth in coordinates rather than tracking a straight line as I ran. After I manually removed the excessive GPS points on the … Continue reading Jagged little line

Waimea Canyon
On our route up to the lookout we pulled off on the side of the road to explore this area. It was so much fun to run around on the rocks! I could have happily spent a lot more time here. Continue reading Waimea Canyon

The finish time for one mile today determines which pace group will be best for training with over the course of the program. I finished a 5K in just under 30 minutes a few weeks ago, so I knew I could come … Continue reading First week pace trial
Week 1 Friday Run
The marathon training program I’m doing through Fleet Feet Sports called for an easy 4-mile run today. I felt like a trail run so I headed out to Eagle Spur Trail, an out-and-back raised rail-trail through some woods down to Jordan Lake. It was a bit soggy in places due to lots of recent rain, but passable. KidRocket’s school had a half-day so I went … Continue reading Week 1 Friday Run
