Yesterday afternoon my Brother asks me “do you have running shoes?” \u00a0I asked “why.” \u00a0He said he just decided to run the Honolulu Marathon tomorrow morning. \u00a0What??? \u00a0He’s never done it, he doesn’t walk, and he doesn’t run either. \u00a0I thought he was joking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So this morning at 4:15am, I take him down to the starting line. \u00a0He jumps in my car with a Coke. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0I give him a bandage just in case he gets blisters from the cheap new shoes he bought last night. \u00a0And I see him take his slippers too. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

There were a lot of runners this year. \u00a0Something like 20,000 runners which include over 5,000 Japanese. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

2 hours after the race started, he sends me this photo of him only passing Diamond Head while the leader of marathon was already running back to the finish line. \u00a0I thought that was funny because he still had 20 miles plus to go. \u00a0But he told me he was going to complete the race no matter what. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then my Niece sends me this photo of him crossing the finish line! \u00a0With his slippers!!! \u00a0Hahahha!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have to say that he surprised me. \u00a0The marathon is very very long. \u00a0I thought it was impossible but he did it. \u00a0Now maybe next year I’m going to have to try. \u00a0Haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
