Maui Tacos 5k

On 9-18-10 I ran the Maui Tacos 5k in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. I made it in 33:16. I don't train running to be competitive. I only did it because my wife made me do it. She paid for the trip so I had to go along. She's the runner and did the warrior (Kao pu ali') challenge half marathon in 2:05; that's 13.1 miles plus the 5k plus a one mile sprint both the day before. We snorkeled and drove the Hana Hwy and visited the Surfing Goat Dairy. The plane ride both ways was excruciating making the saying "no pain no gain" a reality. I'm glad I went but now I want to move there except I don't want to be on an island in the middle of the Pacific a 2500 mile plane ride from the mainland. If the planes stop flying that's a long swim or paddle or sail and I'm not up for any of those. It was very expensive to do anything as well. I guess I'll just stay put.
