    ...where I will be lacing up my running shoes for yet another sprint to Aloha Stadium! Hope to see some of you there.

      Run you if you want. In the past I've walked it (getting in in under 2 hours). More recently I've worked it, keeping an eye on things, reporting runners down, etc.

            Bah humbug, run away!

            I'll be adding another layer of winter fat with a nice quiet sleep tonite and well into the morning. Then make a point of a sleep-over in Waimanalo when that next one coming up happens.

              I rest my case.

              At least you don't run Ironmans.

              The truly crazy run the H.U.R.T. 100.

                  I just finished my 5th HNL marathon and always sore for a few days afterwards and damn those blisters, mostly thanks to the rain for the past two years we have had!

                  Vancouver Airport always had this fee, not sure if they still do it, they charge you $10-15 for an airport maintence fee whether your landing or taking off.
                  But I love the city, very beautiful!!

                    congrats on finishing it ! I admire so much anyone and every one who does one ! How did you do ? I think the rain wasnt so bad but when I finished my 10k... i was a bit cold though so I headed back to Auntie's immediately. I didn't even eat anything they had at the site. I know what you mean about doing a marathon. When I did mine a few years ago I was walking like I had been on a horse for days LOL... but well worth the race

                    As for the airport fee, they now include it into your plane ticket, no matter where you leave from

                    Ok I need to get on my spinner... ive slept enough (its 4:30am here Mtl Time) and im shocked to see that on my scale Ive only gained 6-7 lbs while in Hawaii.. Weeeeeeeee LOL

                      My sis flew in from San Francisco to run the marathon. She started training when she was still living here and then her hubby got transferred to the Bay Area in August. Unfortunately, her knee blew out midway through the race and she had to walk most of it....which disappointed her terribly. But heck...she finished the darn thing on her own legs and not on a stretcher. Not bad for her first marathon (at age 52). Me...I thought about doing the walk....but I don't like walking or running in the rain. LOL I slept in and met her at the finish line instead. :-)

                        More bad management/decisions...

                        Another example of common sense and decency gone astray, allowing a few to aggravate and inconvenience the community - www.starbulletin.com/news/20081216_post_marathon_mess_citys_fault_group_says .html

                        Not to mention the bus/traffic reroutes that made a rainy early Sunday morning even more sucky.

                          I made some comments about the mess and post-race in the comments section of the article. As for the bus/traffic reroutes this happens every year. I often scratch my head wondering, gee these people sitting at the bus routes have a very long wait as the buses arent coming anytime soon. Be informed of what is happening, never assume, learned that a long time ago.

                          Our marathon is one of the most popular races in the world, we have a high count of visitors coming each and every year, spending money which we need and we should be proud they want to come HERE and not other places, we have one of the most beautiful courses anywhere! I think only 10, maybe 15% of the race has locals in it, so the marathon itself is mostly fueled by the tourists.

                          You couple this with the Sony Open, and the Pro Bowl in February and that is millions of tourists dollars being spent here in a very short period of time. Hopefully the Pro Bowl will stay around for years to come.

                                It was my 5th year in a row doing the race, I do races all year long with much better times. However, I never concern myself about my overall finishing time, all I care about is finishing the race as that is the most important thing. The rain affected several of my friends who also got blisters and slowed many of us down an hour, even two from previous races! Hopefully next year will be a dry marathon for all!!

                                I had a friend who passed out about a half hour after the race because he was dehydrated, which shows you even with overcast skies, rain, etc. you can get dehydrated at anytime or condition.
