This Sunday is the 34th annual Honolulu Marathon. At 5:00 in the morning, folks will be starting the 26.2 mile trek through the streets of Honolulu to Hawaii Kai and back.
Here for an autograph session include some of the greats of marathoning. Included are Kenya's and four time Olympic medalist Kip Keino, 1972 Olympic gold medalist Frank Shorter, and three-time New York Marathon winner Alberto Salazar.
Not that I'm in their league, but over 20 years ago, I too was up early and running my first, and only marathon. I took about six and and a half hours to finish, but I finished. Recently, my mother was going through some old pictures and found the contact print provided by the photo service hired by the marathon folks to document all the runners. It was taken just before the finish line at Kapiolani Park and reflects some of the pain I was feeling. You can click on the image for a larger version but I'm not sure why you would want to do that :)
Aloha!

Just as a hypothesis, perhaps there might be those who would wish to see you in pain in as much detail and clarity as possible. :)
They'd be sick puppies indeed, but hey - it IS just a hypothesis. ;)
