Just about every morning, I would wake up and walk about three blocks to Kailua beach to watch the sunrise and stretch my legs. I literally would roll out of my bed still in my pj's and put on my running shoes. The first couple of days my feet were really hurting me. So, I decided to stick to my running shoes for extra support. I was messing around one morning waiting for the sun to come up on the beach. I was trying to take a picture of my shoes but I miss judge the tide. Next thing, I knew my feet were covered in water and sand. Talk about a mess. The shoes still have sand in them.
The hardest part of the trip was no running. I swear everyone runs in Hawaii. Every morning in Kailua I was shocked at the number of people I saw running on the beach on the streets. I so wanted to join them but I was good. We are hoping on going back next year. Hopefully, I wouldn't be injured and I will be able to sneak in a couple of morning runs.
So, I'm done with my goals, I have lost the weight, and I'm stuck. The weather since coming back home has totally sucked. It's been cold and rainy. This morning, the sun finally came out. I decided to hit the trail with leah. Wow, it was so hard. Pushing a jogging stoller is so tough. Oh, I only managed two times around the lake. I'm not sure if I still want to keep up the whole running thing over the winter.
I'm still planning on running the Little Rock marathon in the spring. I really need to stay off my foot to let it heal properly. So, I'm hitting my Chalean Extreme videos hard this week. I decided to look into Shaun T.'s Hip Hop Abs videos. I have a hard time seeing myself working to hip hop music and trying to dance to it. We will see...the only real complaint about myself is my tummy. Three kids did a really good number on that area of my body. I'm happy with everything else but my tummy. So, I just put a bid on ebay for a used set. It should make things interesting.
Husband & I went on a vacation without the kids for the first time this past march after TWENTY YEARS of marriage. Somebody should have told us to do it a lot sooner!!
