Feb Week 4 - The Great Aloha Run and the Kailua 10-Miler

This week we welcome back the Great Aloha Run in person in Honolulu! We last ran in this event in Feb 2020 and used to be the longest run we had ever completed at about 8.2 miles (from the Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium).

It wasn't until training for the Honolulu Marathon last year that we exceeded 8.2 miles on any running activity. Now, 8.2 miles for us is no longer a scary and daunting feat and we went into this "fun" run actually looking forward to having fun :-)

The very next weekend we competed in the Kailua 10-miler and both ran a hard race in our first event of this kind. The night before, we changed things up and tried out a new local New Jersey style pizza restaurant in Hawaii Kai, called Repetti's Pizza and Provisions. The pizza was excellent and worked wonders to fuel us up for the 10 mile run the next morning!
