2004 Laie Days Fun Run

Here's how I trained for the 2004 Laie Days Fun Run. My goal was under 21 minutes, and I finished in 20:15. I was 5th overall (out of maybe 50 participants), and 1st in my age division (29-49).

After the 2004 Great Aloha Run, my right knee started hurting, and I was eventually diagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome, which basically means an inflamed kneecap. So my training was pretty sporadic. But I'm pretty much mended, so I'll get back into the swing of things now.

Also, many people have mentioned how much I play golf. Unless noted, I play at the 9-hole Kahuku course, which costs $4 per round.

Note: The decimal places are seconds, not hundredths of minutes. It was too hard to figure out how to do seconds in Excel (of course, what do you expect from Microsoft products?). So, for example, if you see 20.50, that means 20 minutes and 50 seconds, and not 20 minutes and 30 seconds.
