March 31, 2016

Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Last run of March, 2016. Started back on March 15th and finished the month with six runs. (Two runs in February, Ten in January) Feels good to get back in the groove. Cool runnings with 53 degree temp (11 Celsius) and a slight North breeze. Completed the uneventful 4.32 miles in 42:52 for a 9:56 min/mile pace. No complaints. Weather looks good for next week.

March 26, 2016

Early Saturday morning. Sunlight had already hit the olive oil. Solid campus loop. Finished the five mile maintenance run in 49:44 for a 9:56 min/mile pace. Another 50 degree (10 Celsius) morning with a brisk South wind with which to contend. My legs and lungs have returned. Will add a run to next week's schedule. Mahalo.

Dawn Patrol. 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 Celsius) with a brutal South wind. Finished the 4.75 mile campus loop in 47:17 for a 9:57 min/mile average pace.  Purposefully taking my time getting back to 20-25 miles per week, as experience has informed my decision-making process. Mahalo.

Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Temp (52 degrees Fahrenheit, 11 degrees Celsius) and lack of wind made for another great morning of running. Hit the trail in a concerted effort to recreate Tuesday's route, yet ended up .10 of a mile long. Close enough. Finished the 4.44 mile campus run in a sub-sonic 43:41 for a 9:50 min/mile pace. Good times. Mahalo.

March 15, 2016

Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Back in the game after a six-week hiatus. Felt good to get back out on the road again. Spring and Summer running season officially began today with an easy 4.32 mile loop around the campus. Finished in 44:25 for a 10:18 min/mile average pace. Temp (52 degrees Fahrenheit, 11 Celsius) and a slight breeze from the South combined for awesome running conditions. Inaugurated the Fitbit Charge HR this week, as well. Mahalo.
