Aloha from Maui. Arrived yesterday, staying in the Honokowai area north of Kaanapali. Weather has been wonderful, trade winds steady until night, then everything slows down. I'm sitting not more than 100 feet from the ocean under bright stars with the rhythmic sound of the waves breaking on the sea wall. It is an amazing scene, wish you could be here to enjoy it.
Training for today (Sunday) consisted of a 55 min run on the Honokowai loop at 9:00 a.m.: north along the shore side of Honokowai, up to Kahana, back south on the Honoapiilani highway, turning at the Star Market, finishing at Papakea.
The first part of the run is partly shaded on the roadside or sidewalk with a mild headwind and some varied elevation. After the turn back on to Honoapiilani, you get a nice tail wind and you can enjoy the view of the Pacific along with Molokai and Lanai Islands. The last half mile as the road turns you get a brisk headwind and you have to push to finish strong. By the time I rounded the turn at the Star Market I was feeling tired and glad to be just about done, literally a 100 yards from the end.
Here on Maui I don't have access to a bike so I am alternating training days between run and swim. Tomorrow I'll hit the ocean. See you on the road.
