A new interest

Before, I would only go hiking for field trips in middle and high school and I never liked hiking.  As I realized now, I would "hate" it only because I was going at the group's pace and not my own pace, which usually caused a charley horse especially on my gastrocnemius muscles (or getting a cramp on my calf muscles =P).

Now, I'm really liking hiking.  My friend would suggest hiking before as something we could do together but I always declined.  I guess eventually I agreed because I wanted other ways to exercise besides going to the gym.  I still go to the gym but I wanted variety.  I fell in love with snorkeling all over again and so I wanted to do hiking as another outdoor activity.

And one more thing...  I AVOID hiking DIAMOND HEAD as much as possible!!  Don't expect me to hike Diamond Head anytime soon, k? =)

So, here's my lame hiking blog of other hiking trails on O`ahu.  Enjoy! =P

Oh, and remember:  always have a hiking buddy! =)

=============================

Some helpful links on hiking trails on O`ahu (and other islands of Hawai`i):

• Na Ala Hele -- Official trails (usually maintained and signed trails) of Hawai`i.
• Backyard O`ahu: O`ahu's Hiking Trails -- A site full of hiking trails on O`ahu.
• The Hawaii Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) -- An O`ahu based hiking club.
• O`ahu Hiking Trails -- Similar as "Backyard O`ahu" but uses "Backyard O`ahu"'s webpages.
  
• Island Trails -- A hiking blog.  This guy hikes the craziest trails on O`ahu!  I happened to find his blog while searching for trails to hike.  I don't think I'll ever hike the trails he hikes. =P  This guy has guts!
