Going the Distance

I decided to train for my fist Marathon in May of 2010,  It was the Honolulu Marathon on Dec 11, 2010. I finished in 6:40:59.  The hardest part was the training. I trained for 6 months.  The longest training run I did was 22 Miles in Oct, my Dad biked with me the whole way!

I decided to Run my second Marathon and started training in September of 2011, it was the Honolulu Marathon on Dec 12, 2011. I finished in 5:41:29.  The hardest part was knowing what I was getting into this time and wrapping my head around it during the race.  John and I stayed at the Hilton the night before and ate at California Pizza Kitchen and then had pancakes from MAC24 delivered in bed at 0300!  I was very proud to have shaved an hour off my time from last year!
