HIC!
‘Twas the morning before the marathon
And all through the state
Not a runner was stirring
Most not even awake…
So today is the Saturday before Honolulu Marathon Sunday. Since I’m NOT running the marathon, I figured today would be a better day to get on the road since it will probably be a little too crowded to run tomorrow. Just a little…
I think during my whole run I saw a grand total of two other runners on the road, not counting eGeekette. Guess they weren’t planning on doing the marathon either.
It’s just as well, because it turned out to be a less than great run. Although it wasn’t actively raining, the recent storm soak and Kona winds made what should have been an easy run in relative cool a slog through humidity instead.
To make matters worse, I developed a maddening case of hiccups just past the midway point. Hic! Hic! Eight steps – hic! Twelve steps – hic! Three steps – hic! GAAAAAH! In case you were wondering, there is NO way to get rid of hiccups while you’re running. I made dogs bark and pedestrians jump all the way home.
Like all things, both good and bad, the run finally ended and the hiccups finally went away on their own. No matter how bad it was, I’m sure I’m feeling better than any of those folks running tomorrow.

Woohoo! Apparently, I’m getting in my time tonight.
This post got no love, so I thought I’d comment.
Thank God I’ve never had a case of the hiccups while exercising. Usually, when I get hiccups they’re pretty severe. They’re loud, violent, and usually end up hurting.
Some of my most frustrating times.

I think your child may have inherited that from you.
