I discovered today that I am a morning runner. I love running in the morning.
We decided to go kayaking this morning so I didn't run until late afternoon. My HR was much higher this afternoon than during the early morning runs. I did beat my best time on the Hualalai loop by 32 seconds (not by much, but hey, it was better) but I just didn't enjoy the run as much as my morning runs.
Almost home from my Sunday afternoon run.
There's hardly any traffic during the early morning, and the Queen K part of my run is usually in the dark where people won't see me. There were so many cars on the Queen K this afternoon and I'm sure I heard people laughing as they drove by, at the overweight lady attempting to run.
Mornings are cooler, more invigorating, a good waker upper and I have so much more energy afterward. It's the BEST way to start the day.
Anyway, no matter what time I run, or bike, or swim, I'm just glad I'm doing it. One year ago, I would have never thought that I would get into triathlons or try to compete in any kind of race, but here I am, actually enjoying the training, and if I never compete in any tri's, (I hope I do) I will still enjoy the early morning run.

Si vous continuez à courir le chemin Hualalai, vous pourriez devenir beaucoup plus mince! Pour le moment, faîtes attention aux genoux sur les collines!
A vous cordiàlement, Bruce
I am no expert in physiology, but by training and eating well, you should reach a "normal" body weight with time. As for the knees, what I was trying to say was that pounding downhills may damage your knees, especially if you are carrying extra weight. Its perhaps like me running downhill carrying a fairly large backpack!
I Think you look great. You are really Tan,Because of you I have started doing pilates again and I also look forward to each workout. They are not as hard as your training, but I struggle quite a bit for now. Be careful out there!!

You be proud of yourself and your body Karen.That's a body that brought five children into this world. How many people can say that. You run on that Queen K and you be proud of who you are, you are Karen the athlete, the Mom, the wife and so much more. And you go ahead and sign up for a triathlon...... let NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK.
