Great Aloha Run 2012

Great Aloha Run 2012

I was determined to train for the run come October 2011 but then November rolled around, then it turned into December, January and then it was February! WHAT?! How did it creep up on me so fast! I did not train AT ALL! The farthest I've "trained" for was 3 miles. AI-YAH! 

I was determined to run it anyway or least go for 3 miles and hope I didn't collapse.

David was awesome and drove me to the Blaisdell late Friday night to pick up our (Hiilei and I) running numbers/packets. Still nervous at this point but thinking positive...for the most part.

Set my alarm for 4:45 AM since we all know I like to wake up when I absolutely HAVE TO get up to get ready. Thanks Mom Imi for waking up super early and taking us to town!

When we got dropped off, we ran into the Wilson's. HI! We look so happy BEFORE the run. 

There were all kinds of fun crazy stuff/costumes around us. 

The best was the team of people running with balloon dragons! 

A quick recap of the beginning of the run. I didn't really take pictures during or after since I was trying to not die while I ran and was way too tired to think about taking pictures after. 

Finished! Got our Finisher shirt!

My time wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm going to minus 3 minutes off the time though...I had to wait in line to use the bathroom. 

I didn't want to stop but my body kept telling me I had to poop but it didn't happen the one time I stopped so I kept going.

Even with the -3 minutes, it's still 5 minutes more than last year. Darn it.

This time I PROMISE I will train for the run!

My legs, knees and back were KILLING me after the run. 

NEVER AGAIN!
