Throwback Thursday...a few of my favorite runs

The GPS is not just the runners/walkers best friend to track miles, pace, time.  The single one thing I love about mine (Nike I phone Ap) is that is records a map and your run or walk everywhere you go.  On Vacations or trips, it logs and records your travels on foot.  I love to look back at my progress, and remembering the places we have run or hiked.   It is saved for me to help me remember.  That time Ben and I ran around Cuba Lake, June 2014!  The run along Charleston Bay, 5KTampa Bay, 5KChicago Lakefront Trail on Lake Michigan,  along the Mississippi for the Senior Games Trial, all these record speed and pace, weather conditions and a map of the route.  It is a great motivator.  For this year, we are going to try to run every place we visit, and keep a record of each run and also try to find the best run for each city, to make a list of our favorites.
Currently my favorite places to run are the trail at Wailea, and the trail at Kaanapali, both on Maui.  These trails have gorgeous ocean views, sea spray, lava fields, interesting rock formations besides almost always perfect weather.  I have had some brief rain showers pop up and I took cover under trees or rock formations until the showers passed while my husband was in  meetings.  The next day I would show him the GPS mapping and take him along.  My Nike ap is as necessary for me to run anymore as my favorite sneaks!
