Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Sports Day! No meetings for Steve today so we took full advantage of the day.

We had breakfest on the beach with cats everywhere. Then I went to the bathroom and found a baby lizzard. Steve keeps teasing me that all the pics I have taken so far have been of animals that no one cares about:) lol! True, I went back through the pics and I have two lizzards, 8 cats, 2 squirrel types, a rooster and a chicken, a turtle, crabs, fish, and one of Steve. Ha!

Early jog around the village with a few stop and walk breaks then drove into Kona and saw all the triathletes training for the Ironman this weekend. 7.5 miles total. We also saw a prostitute offer samples of her services to several men while eating lunch. Very appetizing.

PM: Snorkeling on the beach and chasing waves intertwined with the triathletes who were training. I can't imagine competing in that water. I might have been the only tourist to think that was cool while the others might have felt they were in the way. Lots of huts with gear set up. Do you think Its ok to wear an Ironman shirt without competing in one? I wonder how hard it is to qualify compared with running in the USA's...I think that's what its called.

I think your day sounds ABSOLUTELY amazing. :) Good for you guys to get away.

Ironman shirt? Would you wear a 26.2 marathon shirt without competing in one? You have to earn that Ironman shirt in my opinion. Must be so cool to be around that environment of athletes.

Steve has crabs? You think he's know how to avoid that.

Hi Bec! How's the heat treating you?

So, I have worn Marathon shirts before competing myself. Guilty:) Dont judge me! It makes you wonder why they sell 2XL shirts! How bout if I wear as a supporter!? I did see one that said "I TRIED."

Burt- Maybe you can give him some advice! GC trumps it all.
