We'll be getting up at 3:25 tomorrow morning and leave the house by 4:25.
We'll pick up Dennis at his home at 4:45 and then on to Aloha Stadium.

From there we'll catch the 5:15 AM shuttle bus for Honolulu. The starting gate is at the Aloha Tower.
Art will run the race.
However, it's going to be a challenge for Dennis and me. Dennis tells me he's got a little flare up of his gout. Wouldn't you know it? My knees are aching a bit from trying not to be sedentary and doing my computer work/play while standing up and occasionally dancing to Pandora music. We're both planning to take some anti-inflammatory before the race.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'd cross my toes, but I don't want to strain them.
Good luck Kay, I'll be thinking of you and hope you and Dennis will feel pain free for the walk, and that Art will have a good run.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you all. I hope you come through unscathed.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like this is really going to happen. Have fun and good luck for a successful run.
ReplyDeletebe careful and smart-only do as much as you can...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how it goes. Hope you all have a great and painless run/walk.
ReplyDeleteNot having to worry about my toes, I'll keep mine crossed for you.
best wishes Kay!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Kay!
ReplyDeleteLots of luck Kay, I'm sure you'll all be fine. I imagine you have to start that early because of the heat later in the day. Will it be dark?
ReplyDeletegood luck, Kay and Dennis and Art!!! I know you all will do well in this race. Hope it's pain free.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll cross MY toes for you, Kay. Take it easy and I think the race will be fun, whatever happens! I'll be thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all three of you!
ReplyDeleteGout!!! I don't know how that could figure into the exercise. That can be quite intense. Good luck to all and safe run,walk, and/or limp, too!
ReplyDeleteArt is the serious one. You and Art can just have fun. Walk, don't run, and just have fun!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and you are so funny. Nice sense of humor always!

It sounds like you are ready to tackle the event. Next year, you will be able to do even more. Good for you, trying is the first step.
ReplyDeleteBe careful Kay! Have fun too! DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteI know you were concerned about Dennis having his eyes on a "finisher" shirt, but it sounds like he'll be sticking close to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping all is going well with the race. Darn those knees, ankles, toes, and heels. They get our attention just when we wish they wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with the Race!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI just saw news about it on the local news. Just checked to see how ready you people are.
ReplyDeleteRon: I'm taking my Motrin tomorrow morning. I'm going to bed tonight at 8:00 and toss and turn until 10:00. Then I have to get up at 3:25. Arrrghhhh....
ReplyDeleteI am just hoping and hoping it doesn't rain!!!!
Remember you can always stop by for a frappucino and watch the others pass by. Our friends are running and our daughter is watching their children from about 4:30 am or so. By the time you read this, you will have already completed the race, or perhaps waited at Starbuck for Art to pick you up. Way to go Girl!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Kay. What fun. Hope the knees hold out. Carla
ReplyDeleteLucky's Favorite: Actually, I'm leaving right now. I just took two Motrins for my knees and a couple of knee braces just in case. Hopefully, Dennis' feet are OK. And Art?... he's all fired up and ready to run.
ReplyDeleteThe latest medical new on anti-inflammatory is it fights cancer. This includes aspirin. Dianne
ReplyDeletePS good luck to Art.
I almost ran over like 20 runners this morning coming in to work in the dark. It's getting to be a ritual. Runners all dressed up in gay costumes and bright colors do their best to ignore traffic and step off sidewalks and curbs without looking. I do my best to not notice them and try to brake just in time. So far, no flatties (run over runners) but the day is young.
ReplyDeleteSo, do runners really drool so much that they require a bib?
Use your shirt sleeve, works for me!
