Ford Island Bridge Run & Coloring Easter Eggs!

April 3rd, 2010
We started the morning with the Ford Island Bridge run. This year we were the only "fans" out to cheer on the runners. There were lots of people that we are friends with that were running this year. It was a great time!

Paul and James waiting to give Sterling 5 as he ran by. The other kids were over playing at the playground!

Mr. Phil coming by. The kids tried to give him 5 but he was in a hurry to get through!

Riley was doing a great job!

Chris and Kim Blair ran their first race together!

Our good friend Amy was having a great time!

After everyone passed by we went home for some more fun!

Sophia and Daniel were so excited to color eggs for Easter!

The kids were coloring their eggs so they would have designs after they were colored.

They did such a good job!

They were very proud of their eggs!

What could be more fun than getting to add color to your food!

Great Aloha Run

These are kind of blury, but this is what Sterling sent me!

Sterling ran the Great Aloha Run on Feb 15th, 2010. He finished 72nd out of 20,000 people. 51:46 pace 6:21 per mile. He finished 6th in his age group out of about 1000 people. He beat his goal by 3 minutes. ONLY 3 WOMEN BEAT HIM!!!! (for some reason that was important to him!) I will post a picture of it when it arrives.

Wheeler Airfield 10 miler

Today Sterling ran 1:10:55 in the Wheeler Airfield 10-miler. It was good enough for 3rd place in his age group and 16th overall. Next up - 'Raging Isle Sprint Swim' - (June 27th) It is a 1-mile open water swim from Sunset Beach to the Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore. This will be his first big swim - he just wants to finish. We all think he is crazy - but are very proud of him! His new goal is a triathlon - if he can find one that isn't on Sunday!

Wahiawa Pineapple Run

So, Sterling did it again! He ran the Wahiawa Pineapple Run - 10 K.. He did great! He finished 11th overall and in 3rd for his age group. He ran the race in 42.45 minutes with an average of 6.53 minutes per mile. Nice job Sterling!
I am very proud of him!

Ford Island Bridge 10K

Sterling ran the Ford Island Bridge 10 K on Saturday April 4th.

He did really well!

He finished in 47 minutes 30 seconds

running an average of 7 minutes 40 seconds per mile.

He finished 187 out of 2121 people that ran.

Great Job Sterling!

The kids and I went out at 7:15 am on Saturday to cheer for all the runners and walkers, we were there for every runner in the race. I had a lot of fun clapping and cheering for everyone. We stayed even for the last walker. There was a little boy, 3 years old walking it, lots of babies in strollers, a lady pushing triplets, many kids from 3-18, a lady 9 months pregnant trying to make herself go into labor, and amazing grandparents and some great grandparents doing it too! It was pretty inspiring. I think next year our whole family will take part, most of us will be walking, but in it none the less!
