Dec Week 2 - The 2023 Honolulu Marathon

Описание: This Week’s Activity and Events:

This week we competed in our 2nd Honolulu Marathon and went in with high hopes of setting personal records (PRs) and breaking milestone times. Jay finished the 2022 Honolulu Marathon in a time of 4:22 and was trying to beat 4 hours in this marathon and Michelle, who finished 2022 marathon in 5:42, was going for a time of under 5 hours.

We apologize in advance for the shakiness early on in the video as the Gopro settings were not correct for the low light/dark conditions early in the race. In the end, this marathon seemed even harder and hotter for us than last years marathon as we pushed ourselves to finish in record time (for us).

The good news is that we both PR’d the race, Jay beating his time by almost 22 minutes and Michelle beating her time from last year by 5 minutes. However, the bad news is that neither of us reached our ultimate goal, Jay missed breaking 4 hours by 35 seconds and Michelle’s hip locked up at mile 17. She limped in the last 9 miles for a finishing time of 5:37, nowhere close to her goal.

Sooooooo, looks like we are doing another marathon next year, lol!
