I was busy all day Sat and then again yesterday with Father's day so missed a couple of days running.  It was good to be able to get back out today.  It was warm (70) and humid.  Felt good today but just ran easy.  Just getting back in the flow.

Honolulu, HI: Flew out today.  I was up early for the flight and didn't get in until around 5:00 so just got in a few miles to shake the legs out after the long flight.  I was pretty beat and just took it easy.

Honolulu, HI:  I was out early today and it was warm and humid but not much wind.  Today I wanted to do a 4 mile tempo at around 6:50 pace.  I was pretty tired from the trip so didn't want to push too hard.  I did a couple of miles for warmup and then ran the tempo.  It was hard to get going on the first mile.  The first two miles were into the wind so that didn't help.  I started feeling better about a 1 1/2 into it and picked it up from there.  Felt pretty good the rest of the way.  Ran the miles in 6:58, 6:56, 6:40, 6:41.  Was glad to be able to pick it up the last couple of miles and turned into a pretty good workout.

Honolulu, HI: It was a nice morning today.  Ran up around Diamond Head then ran up and down the hills on the backside.  I got a cramp in my left calf around 7 miles.  I think I might have overdone it on the hills.  I slowed down and it got better.  Felt a lot better when I got back down on the flat.

Honolulu, HI: Warm and windy this morning.  My left calf was still a little sore so I ran down the canal and back around by the beach to stay off of the hills.  It felt better as I went and didn't cause me any problems.  Just a nice easy run.
