Many moons ago around 1990-92, I used to run and do the GAR. I'd typically finish around 1 hr. 40 minutes. My friend's late wife used to be a distance runner in high school. I think she still holds a few records at McKinley. Debbie unfortunately passed away a few years back. Anyway, one year she was pregnant with her 5th child but still wanted to do the GAR. She complained in the car as we were heading towards the Aloha Tower start that she had morning sickness and had only trained 2 or 3 times and ended up walking after a mile or two. I thought, YES I'll finally beat her. WRONG! She came in like 1 hr. 10 minutes and called me up later - Mark where were you, I was looking for you at the finish. She said the competitive spirit kicked in about 1/2 a mile in the race and that blocked all the nausea out in her mind. Grrr, don't you just hate that? ;-) Cool blog Ryan – I gotta come here often for inspiration. Many moons ago around 1990-92, I used to run and do the GAR.
