in which another boom king runs in Hilo, and skips Saturday swim

More heat training for us malahini! Started at Richardson Ocean Park in Hilo, and ran back towards town for about 30 minutes. Felt hot but it was okay! Another 30 minutes back. Tried to keep my heart rate down but it was difficult -- I still think the heat is stressing my body, even though I never felt that I was actually overheating. I haven't overheated since the week before Lavaman -- I'm getting used to it it! My angry knee/leg was not happy, but mostly just tight and not painful. Total run was probably about 6.2 miles. Need to speed it up just a little bit more -- if I can make 6.5 mph for the whole Honu half-marathon portion, I'll finish in 2 hours, which is my goal. Is it a reasonable goal? Hard to say. Swim at Richardson's after the run was the ultimate restorative.

Saturday swim was cancelled at Hale Stellanovae because Todd was afraid he might have been getting sick, and I needed some serious nap. Gotta know when to fold 'em. Did I really just say that?! What I meant was, it's good to listen to your body and skip a workout now and then.
