Skirt Runner
So I celebrated my birthday (it's actually Tues) with my parents today and I got the BEST presents!!!! I've been REALLY wanting to run the Hapalua Half in Waikiki in April......my brother is in grad school at Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu and I have not gotten to visit him, and the Hapalua is over my Spring Break....but have been having a hard time figuring out how to come up with the money.....it has been taken care of. AND....new shoes!!!! And this awesome motivational poster from my dad. This bridge is less than a mile from my apartment (Verrazano) and I run under it at least 4 days a week..... And the NYCM is my ultimate bucket list goal....great motivation to get there one day! Yay!!!!! I'm trying to post a pic of my new shoes but im on my iPad... Been a challenge hope it works! It keeps putting it in the middle of text where I don't intend it to... Lol. Oh well you get the gist! Hawaii and new shoes yayyyyyy

I remembered you talking about your brother in HI when we met. You're going to have a great time! I lived there for 2 years and the island and the people are awesome! Enjoy!
