So I'm starting to blog for a number of reasons. To remember what adventures occur in my life daily while in Kona. To process thoughts and ideas. But mainly for my family... because they want me to. So yesterday I went to the Kona Marathon. I didn't run. In fact, I have been doing the opposite since I got here. I haven't found a place were I actually enjoy running here. The middle of the afternoon is so hot by the water and full of cars on Ali'i. So I found myself on a treadmill in Hawaii last week thinking, what the heck am I doing? No place is perfect. Anyway I biked along cheering people on and providing encouragement thinking to myself, "This is what I want me life to be about"... encouraging others.
