If You Have To Run A Marathon, Do It In Hawaii!!

One of my best friends has decided to run a marathon.   But she doesn't want to run the NYC Marathon.  In a moment of sheer genius, she decided that she wanted to run a Hawaii marathon.  She has started training but she's still deciding between the Kauai Marathon (which occurs in September) and the Honolulu Marathon (which occurs in December).  In keeping with the laid-back island culture, there's no qualification race for either marathons.  Just pay the entry fee and you're good to go!  I'm very excited because I will be waiting for her at the finish line with a lei and a passion-fruit cocktail drink...as I sip on my pina colada.  :)
