Lovely hula girls

 

 

 

 

The beat goes on....

 

 

 

 

 

Nice inviting slope at the half way mark

 

 

 

 

Hanging green bananas

 

 

 

 

 

Intermittant drizzles and overcast skies cool us off

 

 

 

 

 

More congenial smiles

 

 

 

 

It is the "Garden Isle"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15 miles 

 

 

 

 

Nice family portrait

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little hula girls!

This was a route of rolling hills, over 2 dozen of them

 

 

 

 

A scene straight out of the '50s at Sweet 16

 

 

 

 

"I can run too!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A muddy puddle on the road

 

 

 

 

Sweeter Seventeen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Country road, taking me home

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Timekeeper beyond 18 mile marker

 

 

 

 

This has to be the "Hula Marathon" - so spirited, friendly, and supportive

 

Keep on Running
