Great Aloha Run

Earlier this week, I participated in the Great Aloha Run which is a race along Nimitz Highway in Honolulu that stretches from Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium.  It was an 8.15 mile course that over 21,000 people ran/walked in!
I felt great the entire run and accomplished my goals of doing it under 1:20 and running the whole way.  I ended up finishing in 1:06 and later found out that I finished 1,027 out of over 21,000 people.  Must be all of the spam musabi's and loco moco's people eat over here :)  

5 a.m. waiting for the bus wishing I was back in bed!
Start line - it took me 15 minutes just to cross the start line!

Crossing the finishing line (don't mind the proof on the photo - I'm not spending $18 on a 5 x 7 photo of me that I'll never look at again)

Wouldn't be a Hawaiian run without a shaka

This little one put up with a lot of stroller rides!

I couldn't have done this without Dave!  He encouraged me to sign up and motivated me to go out for my longer runs on the weekends while he watched Sydney.
