BEING a lost runner in Hawaii

I decided to be super adventurous and run into out into the unknown this beautiful, bright and sunny morning in Honolulu. I had my short shorts on, my room key stashed in the back of my hot pink sports bra, and plenty of sunscreen. I headed out excited to conquer new terrain and maybe spot some places to come back and eat at later. I head uphill next to the University of Hawaii, passing main roads, small stores, curvy neighborhoods, and eventually I was lost.

I didn't want to stop though, so I kept on going til I hit another main street and ran along side that until well, my sidewalk got skinnier and skinnier until I realized I was at the merging point of a freeway. That was a little embarrassing.

After asking at least three locals I finally found myself heading back in the right direction. I didn't really mind the detour though, Hawaii has lots to see. I got back just in time to catch breakfast at the cafe, can you believe they stop serving at 8:30 am?!!

I kind of liked being lost though. I don't know how to explain it. I kept on thinking about this youtube video!!! It was kind of liberating.

SO after being on this island for a week I finally got a good 40-ish min run in. Now I finally have something to log on Strands.com hahaha!
