Starting off the new month amazing with my longest run since the new year started! Waking up early before the sun comes up to beat the Hawaii sun is necessary when running long distances. I met my buddy Mateo through our local run club here on Oahu, and he's one fast dude! He hasn't run a marathon or anything above 16 miles yet, but I convinced him to join me. Luckily, he pulled through! We started on the south shore of Oahu, went towards Ala Moana, made a u-turn to Diamond Head, and ended back at my house. We were aiming for an 8-8:30 pace, but we were feeling good and ended up going faster. It was an awesome moment, and it's giving me confidence for the marathon next week. I'm not going for a specific time, just meeting up with some first-time marathoners. This will be my second marathon. Afterward, I took a dip in the ocean at Waikiki Beach, then met up with my friend Mariah at a local beach. We enjoyed the sunshine, had some sweet treats, and watched the sunset. I should have uploaded this earlier, but life gets busy! Thanks for encouraging me to upload more. Stay tuned for my LA marathon vlog! 💪
