Continue reading →: Where Eddie Would Have Gone. IF He Was A Runner.
Most of my friends are Runners. And there is a reason. Runners are Fun. They never think twice about lacing up, heading out in the middle of a storm or the night, and get lost or explore new places. They’re not scared to get on adventures, go to weird places and…

Continue reading →: Eddie Would Go. But Where?
So, after all was said and done, and part of the team left, and I was done with work, I got my sand on and also booked a few excursions. I am not sure I ever mentioned this, cause I like to live in denial about things I don’t like,…

Continue reading →: Eddie Would Go
Have you heard about Eddie Aikau? We were told his story at the Inspiration Dinner and it really stuck with me. Here’s the short version: Edward Ryon Makuahanai “Eddie” Aikau (May 4, 1946 – March 17, 1978) is one of the most respected names in surfing. He was the first lifeguard at…

Continue reading →: And then there is race day
(It is kind of funny what race day = work day) I have never done a triathlon (and quite probably never will but never say never right?), but spectated once at the NYC TRI, and I haveworked at a TNT event as staff once before, but just as support staff. So, I was a…

Continue reading →: What’s Hawaiian for Running?
I had a couple of free hours this weekend (though not much) and, instead of some very needed R&R or some waterside fun, I decided it was time to get lost! Every time! So I grabbed my camera, my room key and my hat, sunproofed up and took off, not…

Found a few minutes and I figured I’d write a little! We’re on our way to Kona, Hawaii, to bring a group of around 60 Team in Training triathletes to compete in the Lavaman tri, on Sunday. There’s two coaches with us, and an unofficial one who is competing in…

Continue reading →: And now…? (Do you need goals?)
Do I need goals? Mmm, not really… But right after a race, and even sometimes in the last mile of a race (I know, I know, I am an anxious girl!) I like to start looking ahead… and fantasizing, and planning. Just one thing at a time though! With a short and slow 2…

751 751 miles 751 miles of smiles 751 miles of smiles since my last birthday And so many more amazing things. Of course nobody’s life is ever perfect, but I felt truly happy when I woke up this morning. I am close to 40 and not feeling any doubts about how much…

Ah, what a day… I was really looking forward to this race! This was my first race ever, in 2006, the first time they ever held the race. It poured, I had no clue what I was doing, my longest run up to then had been ONE 6 miler and I…

I had attended this event last year too, when one of my best friends (ket’smeow!) invited me: so of course I said yes again. It’d also be our friendship anniversary…! We had lots of elite running fun last year, and took lots of pictures (all here A Night with Champions: Kara,…

Continue reading →: Brooklyn Half: IT IS WHAT IT IS (a fun and scary ride?)
Early on, when I decided I was not going to do a Spring marathon, I had set my eyes on PRing at a Half. Naturally, I picked the Brooklyn Half. It’s a great and easy course and the race is super fun as the last stretch is on the boardwalk…

mylifeinrunningshoes: Yeah I’m nervous. Yeah I’m freaking out and feeling underprepared. Yeah I have no idea what to expect. But at least my outfit is ready 🙂 p.s. I think there’s something very poetic about packing my bags to go run Boston, one year TO THE DATE after joining my…

mylifeinrunningshoes: Sometimes long runs turn into quite an adventure!! That’s one of the many benefits of being a runner – the adventure of it all, especially when you aspire to make every run just a little bit different from the last. I’ve gone on a few mini weekend adventures this…

mylifeinrunningshoes: This past weekend I ran the 13.1 NYC Half Marathon in Flushing Meadow Park, Queens. That’s a borough in New York for anyone who doesn’t know. It’s like the distant and much less popular cousin to Manhattan. Anyway I thought about writing a lengthy race recap about the half…
