0600 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Long-sleeves and shorts. Temp a cool 66 degrees Fahrenheit (19 degrees Celsius) with 80% humidity to start the day. Completed the 3.19 miles in 31:33 for a 9:55 min/mile average pace. Closed out August with 60 miles on 14 quality runs. Not bad considering I took the first week off! A solid month of runs to build on for September. Mahalo.

Spartacus Redux Mix on the box. Mahalo.

0545 am. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. A throwback of sorts: Spartacus Redux Mix on the box.

August 20, 2017

0800 hrs. Campus Loop. Back to back to start another week of roadwork. Hit the trail with the temperature a respectable 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) with 90% relative humidity. No breeze. Headed South once again to the Highway 9 perimeter before heading home through campus. Water stop at the three-mile mark saved me from a potential flame-out. Completed the 5.45 miles in a sub-sonic 58:33 for a 10:44 min/mile pace. Mahalo.

August 17, 2017

August 19, 2017

0630 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Wine-Soaked Bliss. Hot (74 degrees Fahrenheit, 23 degrees Celsius) and extremely humid (95%) as the sunlight hit the olive oil. Headed South, per custom, to the Highway 9 perimeter and then back North, through campus, to the shack. Slow and methodical. Completed the 5.24 miles in a slow, dazed 55:17 for a 10:33 min/mile pace. This week's digits: 17.91 miles on four runs. Mahalo.

August 13, 2017

0730 hrs. Campus Loop. Sunday 10k after a couple of days of non-stop rain. Overcast skies, high humidity (95%), and the temperature a manageable 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) as I hit the trail. Headed South from the Boyd Portal to the Rugby Fields, East to Chinatown and then home through the residential environs. Definitely felt the effects of the wine from last night, but I made it back to the shack relatively unscathed. Completed the 6.12 miles in 1:04:08 for a 10:28 min/mile pace. Last weeks stats: 12.46 miles on three runs. Mahalo.

August 10, 2017

0645 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Post-Thunderstorm Bliss. The temperature was a nice 69 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) with 90% humidity. A steady South wind kept things coolish. Back-to-back. Completed the 4.11 miles in 40.38 for a 9:53 min/mile pace. Shaved a minute and change off of Wednesday's time. Charging dog at the rally point made for an interesting few seconds of adrenaline-fueled madness. Screaming obscenities at the beast's owner made everything better though. Mahalo.

August 9, 2017
