Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

... Or Do!!

While in San Diego, we had lots of fun and I was taken to lots of cool places. One of which was in Ramona. It was a hike to a beautiful waterfall, I think called Indian Creek Falls. The water was much too cold for me, but the guys sure had fun jumping in. It was such a fun hike with lots of pretty views. Hiking is something I really enjoy, and I was pleasantly surprised with what San Diego had to offer.

Happy 2011!

I really enjoyed my trip to the mainland. I was especially excited to eat all the yummy food that we don't have in Hawaii. (Chipotle, BJs, California Burritos, Cafe Rio, and my Momma's home cooking) It was so great to see my family and friends, it never seems long enough, but even our brief encounters mean so much to me. Including my brief moment snowboarding Copper Mountain was perfect. Wish so badly I could spend more time in those Colorado mountains with my friends and family. San Diego treated me great and welcomed me with nice weather, beautiful sites, and lots of fun.

Christmas in Colorado

New Years in San Diego

Now back home in Hawaii

New Years resolution? Still trying to figure that out, and open to suggestions. Work out more? Eat better? Save money? None of those sound appealing.... maybe get a puppy, or go to another country, or learn how to use my camera, or by a motorcycle, or volunteer. Ya, something along those lines.

Happy New Years Family and Friends!!!

Another One Off The Bucket List

Under prepared... but not under determined

Back in August I committed myself into running the Honolulu Marathon. I was totally committed and excited for about 2 months. Then, I kinda got over it. So, for the last month or so I didn't run as much as I should. And I might have kept looking for excuses to get out of it (rain storm, fake injuries, missing the check-in, arriving late day of) but somehow 5am there I was at the starting line (okay actually 5:08 like I said, I was late). Looking around at the herd of cattle, I mean runners, I realized I was a bit out of place. I was not Asian, I was not wearing a fanny pack, a hat, a Disney costume, a Santa suit, a wedding dress, a tribal outfit, I didn't have my camera with me taking pictures every 5 minutes, nor did I have my cell phone with me. I was impressed, I could barely do it in my tank top and shorts. But observing all these people definitely got me through the first have of the race. The last half was pure determination. I was determined to run the entire thing (minus the water stations where I walked), and I did :)

My goal was to complete it in 5 hours. I finished in 4:52.

Of the 20,411 participants I placed 4,880.

It was such an awesome experience. I am so glad that I didn't back out. 26 miles was pretty though tho, I think I am going to stick with half marathons. There is one on the Big Island in March, any one wanna join me?
