The run on Tuesday ties with the UH/Saint Louis Heights run as my favorite. It was hared by three people, and started at the intersection of Pali Hwy and Nuuanu Pali Drive. The run freaked me out a little at the start because we had to run across the Hwy. I waited for a big gap and dashed across with a dozen other runners, but it just seems like one of those thing that would give my mother a heart attack.
Anyway, once across, we soon found ourselves in a bamboo forest weaving in between, climbing over, and ducking under the trees. There was a guy in front of me with two dogs on leashes, and they kept going around different trees, tangling him up, so he handed one to me until we got far enough from the highway to set them loose. The trail was the least "trail like" of any run yet. I think we were just going randomly through forest. I don't know how the hares knew where they were going because if there weren't copious chalk marks, I would have been lost in a heartbeat. Still, it was loads of fun, going over streams, up and down hills, basically through some incredibly beautiful and varied terrain. What fun. I love this sport.
