I wonder what the weather is like in Hawaii during the month of December. The reason I'm thinking about this is because I am toying with the idea of doing a marathon there that's going to be on December 11th.

The marathon is one of the events I can sign up to do to help raise money for the San Francisco Aids Foundation. I've done a couple bike rides with them, SF to LA, Montreal, Canada to Portland,Maine, and it was a blast. Unfortunately, it's been a while since I did anything remotely resembling actual exercise so I am sadly out of shape, on the plus side however, there is more of me to love then there used to be.

Running is something I've always wanted to be good at. When I was younger I was alright at it but from time to time I had trouble with my calves cramping up on me and as I got older the problem worsened. If I did this Marathon for the SFAF I would not only be provided with a training program but a coach as well. All I really need is the gumption to go through with this.

Running a marathon would be a bitch and a half but, it would get me back in great shape and afterwards I could really see myself continuing to run regularly for personal exercise maybe even do another marathon. Who knows? I might even finaly get up the nerve to post my actual picture on my profile.
