donna in mililani

I am happy to report (though slightly dissapointed in myself) that i came in at 5:18 in last Sunday's marathon. The rain that brought flooding over Oahu and Kauai two days earlier had continued over the first half of the marathon and almost everyone was wearing rubbish bags and ponchos for cover including me. In the second half, the sun decided to come out and the heat was intense. About 20,000 plus ran it and according to the statistics, i was among the first 7000 plus who finished. I was happy to have my bestfriend and running buddy, Heidi run with me for the first 16 miles. I didnt see here again until the finish line.

To me, the Honolulu Marathon is like the final exam at the end of the school semester. It's a great feeling to pass the test.
