Honolulu, HI:  It was warm (74) and humid this morning.  I don't get to say that too often in Dec.  I had a hard time getting going this morning.  I'm not sure if it was from all of the travel yesterday or what.  I got out about 3:30 this morning but there was a beautiful full moon that helped light the way.  I wanted to do some tempo miles today so I decided on 4 miles at around 6:30 pace.  I went on my usual route around Diamond Head.  I started off with a 3 mile warmup and then did the 4 miles at tempo.  Here are the splits:

1st - 6:31

2nd - 6:43 (up the hill at Diamond Head)

3rd - 6:21 (down the hill at Diamond Head)

4th - 6:29

Start out on the tempo I felt rough and a couple of times I felt like shutting it down but I am glad I kept going.  It wasn't the best run but at least I hit my target and finished it.  Hopefully I will feel back to normal tomorrow.

58:53 ( 7:22 avg)
