It was kind of a run/hike today. It was Christmas morning and my son and I took off from our hotel and ran about 20 minutes. Then continued to walk to Diamond Head and hike to the top and back down.

Today was my first workout in Hawaii. It felt great. I was able to take off from my hotel (Hilton) on Waikiki beach and run past Diamond Head and back. I did the strides on a nice soccer field. Sure was nice to run in the sun again.
