1800 hrs. 7th Run of the Cycle. A beautiful 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) with negligible humidity. Winter may be in the rearview mirror. Solid trail run through Allied territory. Western Approach. Lithium Mix on the Box. Completed the 4.44 miles in 49:53 for a 11:15 min/mile pace. Mahalo.
1800 hrs. The 4th Run of the Cycle. Western Approach. Cool 62 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) with 60% RH. Beautiful sunset on the home stretch. Lithium Mix on the Turntable. Completed the 4.38 miles in 52:08 for an 11:54 min/mile pace. Mahalo.
0930 hrs. 2nd Run of the Cycle. Blue skies for days; the sand and surf for good measure. Walked for 3.16 miles with Duckworth and then we ran/walked another 3.67 miles for good measure. The beach vibe was solid and the weather was perfect. Reggae on the Box. Completed the 3.67 miles in 1:07:54 for a sub-sonic 18:30 min/mile pace. Mahalo.
1300 hrs. Inaugural Run of 2024 and, subsequently, the 1st Run of the Cycle. At the crack of January 28th. Proud. Back in the game after a ten-week, self-imposed exile from all things healthy and life-sustaining. Beautiful weather; 60 degrees Fahrenheit with blue, cloudless skies. Lithium Mix on the Box. "No one sings like you anymore..." Finished the 4.06 miles in 48:35 for a sub-sonic 11:58 min/mile pace. The 2024 goal is 120 runs for the cycle, which, for those of you scoring at home, is 38 more runs than I managed in 2023. Buena suerte, como dice la gente. Mahalo.
