ALOHA "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"
ANOTHER "AWWWESOME" DAY FOR ME. TODAY WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING... I TOOK THE TIME TO GO BACK IN TIME AND REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD THINGS I WENT THROUGH GROWING UP IN KEAUKAHA AS FAR AS I WHEN I WAS MAYBE 6-7 YEARS OLD VISITING MY DAD DURING THE SUMMERS AND WINTERS BREAKS. AND ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WHEN I WAS LIVING WITH MY DAD FROM GRADES 6TH & 7TH.
AND AFTERWARDS I WOULD FREQUENTLY VISIT HILO ALMOST EVERY YEAR EVEN AFTER I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE.
FROM KEAUKAHA TO KALAPANA BEACH BEFORE IT GOT ENGULFED BY LAVA WHICH CONTINUES TO THIS DAY FLOWING RIGHT INTO THE OCEAN. I REMEMBER GOING TO BOILING POTS TO HAPUNA BEACH TO WAIPIO VALLEY TO KOHALA TO PUNALU'U TO KONA AND MAUNA KEA TO VOLCANO AND TO WHERE EVER MY OHANA WENT... I WENT.
EVEN GOING TO SCHOOL AT KEAUKAHA ELEMENTARY AND ONTO HILO INTERMEDIATE... THE "SHAM BATTLES" GAMES WAS SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR AND TALK ABOUT AFTERWARDS. THEN AFTER SCHOOL ME AND MY FRIENDS WOULD GO TO SEVERAL BEACH HANGOUTS ONLY FOUND IN KEAUKAHA... "PUHI BAY", "CHOCK'S", "BAREBALLS", "4 MILES", "PAVILLIONS", "LELEIWI", "RICHARDSONS", "BROWN'S", AND YES... EVEN "ONEKAHAKAHA"... LOL!!!
BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IS "LALAKEA".
PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY MY FRIEND, KAEO. MAHALO FO SHARING!!!
I DON'T THINK I NEED EXPLAIN ANYMORE WHY THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPOT.
AS I WAS REMINISCING ALL OF THIS... I WAS READY TO GET OUT OF BED AND GO OUT FOR A RUN!!!
I GET MY CLOTHES ON, MY HEART RATE MONITOR, MY JACKET, MY ITOUCH, MY SHADES, AND MY SHOES. I'M ALL GEARED UP AND READY TO VENTURE OUTSIDE AND THE FIRST THING I SEE IS...
"SNOW"... YUPZ... LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES BLOWING... LOL!!! AT LEAST THE SUN WAS STILL OUT AND NOT COVERED BY THE CLOUDS. AT FIRST I WAS SAYING TO MYSELF... "AHHH... I GOIN' RUN TOMORROW INSTEAD CAUSE IT'S PRETTY CHILLY OUT THERE"... BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS THINKING AND PRETENDING THAT ALL MY OHANA & HOALOHA BACK HOME IN HAWAI'I WAS ALL WATCHING AND WAITING FOR ME TO COME OUT TO GO RUNNING. AND OUT THE DOOR I WENT RUNNING!!!
I RAN FOR 1.7 MILES NONSTOP AND TO BE HONEST... I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW COMFORTABLE I WAS FEELING AS THE MUSIC WAS JAMMING ON MY ITOUCH!!! I WAS FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AND I NOW KNOW THAT I CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE ON OUT!!!
