Perks of training for a marathon (in Hawaii)!!!!

Ok... going into this I knew it wouldn't be easy but I am strong willed and will accomplish what I set my mind to. 

I have decided to look at the sunny side of the clouds versus the dark stormy side... an analogy I used on a preschooler this week who was upset that her daddy was late picking her up... we have been talking about weather this week!  :)  Anyway... I have decided to look at the perks of training and save the not so fun parts for later....

1.  I live in HI!
2.  I can eat whatever I like and not have to worry about gaining weight.  This is a first for me!  (Don't think this happens just in Hawaii- but the local grinds are so ono and definitely a perk!!!!)
3.  Not too hot... not too cold... just right!  However if you run in mid day heat you do find yourself consuming a bit more water then if you run at say 5am!!!)
4.  Pretty consistent trade winds... nature's natural air conditioner!
5.  Living on such a small island... I know lots of people along the running route to grab water... a pit stop... or that will take me to the ER! LOL!  Thankfully it hasn't come to this point yet but like I said early we are still in the early stages of training.

More perks to come soon!
