These pictures are from the King Kamehameha parade we went to with Brant's parents in Lahaina. Hands down the best parade I've ever been too. People take parades around here seriously. Each Hawaiian island was represented with riders and banners. Participants fund-raise and/or spend their own money on dress material and the flowers for leis. I loved that even the horses were wearing leis, and can't imagine how many hours it must have taken to make them.
Training is going good. I'm sticking with my workouts, and my body seems to be holding up great. In general, I'm running:
Monday: 3 miles easy
Tuesday: 6-7 miles, marathon pace
Wednesday: off
Thursday: 3 miles easy
Friday: off
Saturday: long run - we are up to 14 miles
Sunday: off
For the first month and a half I was totally in love with running. I wanted to marry it, have babies with it, buy it a fancy car.
The last week or so, I seemed to have lost my running mojo. I've hit the point where thoughts like 'whose bright idea was this?' are entering my head. On Saturday I ran 10 miles and was totally ready to be done at mile 1.
But............from experience, I know this is a phase and it will pass. I will be excited to run again. For now, I just run because I have to. Because somebody decided to sign up for a marathon.
In other news, I am completely stoked about our upcoming trip to the mainland. Can. Not. Wait. to see friends and family we've been missing so much. And go to Target.
Now, I have to get back to work. Or else I will never get to go to the beach again.
