Kona Underwear Run




Well, the second time around wasn't nearly as anxiety producing as the first time. We had a great time in our matching underwear and pink bras. We got a lot of attention for it and had our pictures taken by a lot of people. There were at least twice as many people in the run this time as there was in Canada which was extra fun. One of these people is John Blaze (the real superman). If any of you saw the footage of Hawaii Ironman last year, you'd know his story. He is fighting ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and was able to complete Ironman last year and make the time cut off (not in a wheelchair). The disease has obviously progressed, but he is here continuing to inspire everyone he meets, and even having fun all the while... yes, he too is wearing his underwear!

Thanks for organizing the pretty matching panties! It was fun to be a "veteran underpants runner" with you. What a distinguished title!

We're with you on your road to Ironman status -- no question you're going to make it, and enjoy it as well!
