Working Out the Kinks

Aloha from SeeMommyRun Kailua Hawaii!

This is titled working out the kinks because I am 4 1/2 weeks into my recovery of a fractured ankle, and as dissapointing as that set back was, I am so very proud to let you know that my running partner and friend Vanessa trainer her but off and successfully completed her second race this year in amazing time!
Our very own Vanessa Letcher recently completed the Great Aloha Run with son Jackson in tow (who just turned 1 today)! She was joined by her husband and close friend who are also phenominal runners, supportive friends and no doubt the kind of competition that brings out her competative spirit.

The 8.15 mile course starts at Aloha Tower in Downtown Honolulu, winds its way along the historic Honolulu Harbor, down Nimitz Highway, Kamehameha Highway and into the Aloha Stadium. The finish line is the back goal line of the north end zone on the stadium floor.

Awesome work Vanessa! You are an inspiration to our team and I look forward to joining you again very soon!

in health!

Hit the Ground Running in 2008

Welcome to the Official seeMOMMYrun "Moms Gotta Run" Race Team of Kailua Hawaii - 2008
I am thrilled to start '08 off by hitting the ground running (literally) with a fabulous group of like minded mommies that are hip & fit!

I would like to personally thank Vanessa for her patience as I was kicking a bad cold then just excuses for the past weeks to start running together in the mornings.

We hit the road this morning and successfully completed a 4 mile run in 30 minutes. Thank you Vanessa for kicking my but this morning! I must admit that I spent almost the entire run in my head, reminding myself to settle into the stillness (my yoga mantra/survival mechanism I like to use to escape the screeming voice in my head telling me it is time to walk). I look forward to the end of the week when my body decides to join the program.
In Health!
