Ke manaʻo ka hapanui o ka poʻe waipuna, ʻaʻole lākou e noʻonoʻo i ke olakino. Ma hope o ka makemake nui o ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kahi male, e moe ana ma luna o kahi lumi hoʻokipa me ka ʻai anu ma kou lima i ka hapalua o ke ao holoʻokoʻa kahi ala e kani ai ka nani. (Pili: Pehea e hoʻohana ai i kāu wā hoʻomaha e * ʻOiaʻiʻo * Hoʻomaha)

Akā he mea hoʻomaha koʻikoʻi nui ka hoʻoikaika kino naʻu, no laila ke hoʻolālā a me kaʻu kāne ʻo Christo me kā mākou meli i Italia, ua ʻike wau i kekahi mau kāmaʻa kāmaʻa e komo i loko o kaʻu pahu. Kōkua lākou iaʻu e holo i ka jet jet a hoʻomau i ka hopohopo. Ua ʻike au, eia nō naʻe, no ka nui o kaʻu ʻōlelo ʻana iaʻu iho e hana wau, ʻelua pule o ka waina ʻulaʻula a me ka pizza, nā ala makani o ko Amalfi kahakai o ʻItalia (heluhelu: maopopo ʻaʻole hoʻomākaʻikaʻi ʻia), a hiki i nā hale hoʻomaha hōkele ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hōkū ke pale maʻalahi iaʻu mai ka hoʻoikaika kino.

A laila kau inoa wau no ka hapalua marathon e hana nei i ʻeono mau lā ma hope o kaʻu mau meli. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole wau he hoʻonohonoho pahuhopu nui, akā ke kau inoa nei no ka hapalua-The Boston Athletic Association Half Marathon, kahi heihei aʻu i makemake mau ai e hana-me kekahi o kaʻu mau hoaaloha maikaʻi loa me he mea maikaʻi lā.

ʻO ka Mālama

Ua paʻi wau i ka papa hana o ka hōkele no kahi holo he ʻekolu a me ka hapa mile i ko mākou lā mua ma ʻItalia. Ua hana paha wau inā e holo ana au i ka heihei a ʻaʻole paha (kōkua ka cardio i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i kaʻu jet lag). Akā ʻo nā kau aʻe ʻelua e holo wikiwiki ana i ka mile a me ka hapalua me kekahi mau kaupaona i ke kakahiaka ma mua o ko mākou hele ʻana i waho no kahi lā o ka mākaʻikaʻi-ʻaʻole paha i hiki.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kekahi o nā ʻāpana kikoʻī o kā mākou melemona i hana ʻia he 100 pākēneka ma muli o kēia heihei. I ko mākou lā ʻelua ma Tuscany, ka ʻāina inu waina o ʻItalia, ua ala mākou i kahi moena liʻiliʻi a me ka ʻaina kakahiaka i kapa ʻia ʻo LʻOlmo, ma waho pono o ke kauhale Renaissance o Pienza. Ua ʻai mākou i ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma kahi kokoke i ka loko wai hōkele o ka hōkele, kahi e nānā ana i nā mile o nā puʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā māla waina a hoʻopuni ʻia e nā lā i hoʻonani ʻia me nā pale keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, e like me kahi mea o kāu mau moemoeā. Ua kūpono ka mahana. Ua puka ka lā. Hiki iā mākou ke noho ma laila i ka lā holoʻokoʻa me nā spritze o Aperol me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopiʻi ma ka honua.

Akā he 10 mau mile kaʻu e holo ai. ʻO ka pō ma mua (ʻoiai ma hope o kekahi mau aniani o ka waina), ua kiʻi wau i kahi mea e kokoke ana i kēlā mamao. Ua ʻae ʻo Christo e holo pū me aʻu ma kekahi o nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna hoʻolimalima. (Kōkua ia he kolepa kolepa ʻo ia, no laila hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau ʻo ia.) Ke haʻi aku mākou i nā mea ʻāpana meli ʻē aʻe e noho ana ma kā mākou hōkele e pili ana i kā mākou hoʻolālā, ua like… ua pūʻiwa. 'Saidlelo kekahi mau kāne ʻaʻole lākou i pūʻolo i kā lākou mau sneakers. Ua haʻi mai kekahi iā mākou ua haʻalele lākou i ka hoʻoikaika kino i kā lākou huakaʻi. (ʻAʻohe hilahila; ʻokoʻa ka poʻe āpau!)

Ua manaʻo māua ʻo Christo ma luna o koʻu holo ʻana i kahi holo lōʻihi hope loa, ʻo kahi huakaʻi holo kaʻa holo lōʻihi he ala ʻē aʻe ia e kamaʻāina ai iā mākou iho i kēlā wahi a e ʻike i ka ʻāina waina ma ka wāwae.

Kupaianaha ia.

No nā hola, ua holo wau, a holo kaʻa aku ʻo Christo ma nā ala lepo i hoʻopili ʻia e nā kumu lāʻau cypress hōʻailona o Tuscany, e kū ana no nā ops kiʻi. Ua hele mākou i hala i nā hale mahiʻai a me nā hale inu waina a me nā hale ʻaina kūloko. Ua ʻohi mākou i nā hua waina. Ua holo au i luna a i lalo i nā alanui puʻu e pili ana i nā kūlanakauhale kahiko i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā pā kaua. Ua lele ʻo ia i lalo i nā puʻu kiʻekiʻe ma luna o nā huila ʻelua. I kēlā me kēia mau minuke, wehe hāmama nā kīhāpai māla o nā māla waina a me nā wahi hānai. ʻO ia ka Tuscany āu e heluhelu ai a ʻike i nā kiʻi lele o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me nā uhi makasina.

A ʻoiai ua helu hewa au i ka mamao o kā mākou huakaʻi hele - pau mākou i ka holo a me ke paikikala ʻana ma kahi o 12 mile - ua pau mākou i kahi kauhale kokoke i kahi puʻu kahi i loaʻa ai iā mākou kahi wahi ʻaina awakea o ka pā no nā sandwiches a me ka pia ʻItalia.

Ma hope o kēlā ʻāina waina-kokoke-ka hapalua, ʻaʻole au i holo a hiki i kahi hōkele keʻokeʻo i kapa ʻia ʻo Casa Angelina, i kūkulu ʻia i loko o kahi pali ma kahakai ʻo Amalfi. He mau lā ma hope aku a ma ka hopena o kā mākou huakaʻi. I ka ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hele i nā lā he nui me ka kuʻi ʻole ʻana i ke keʻehi, ua hoʻoikaika wau iaʻu iho i waho o kahi moe ma mua o ka lā i kekahi kakahiaka e holo i 45 mau minuke ma ka treadmill-ʻo ia wale nō ka mea e nānā ʻole ai i ke kai Tyrrhenian, ʻo Positano moemoeā, a me ka moku ʻo Capri. ma kahi mamao. Ua maikaʻi. Noho au i lalo i ka ʻaina kakahiaka me ka manaʻo ua hoʻokō a ikaika.

Ka Half Marathon

Mai kuhi hewa, paʻakikī ka heihei. Ma kahi ʻāpana no ka mea he puʻu kaulana kaulana kēia papa ma o ka ʻōnaehana paka ʻo Bosetona, ka Emerald Necklace. ʻO ke anilā kekahi ʻano mehana me muggy-meet-cloudy kahi ma ka lima ʻoluʻolu ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻālohilohi ka lā, akā ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, manaʻo ʻoe aia ʻoe i kahi lumi mahu. Akā ʻo ka hapanui, paʻakikī ia no ka mea ua lohi kēlā manaʻo jet-laggy.

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ma ka mile 11, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ninini-he hoʻokipa hoʻokipa ma hope o kahi heihei wela. A iā mākou i hele aʻe i ka laina hoʻopau (he mau minuke wale nō ma hope o ka hola ʻelua mau hola!), Ua ʻike wau ʻo ka heihei ka antidote kūpono loa i ka jet lag a me kahi ala maikaʻi loa e noho ai ma ke ala me ka hoʻoikaika kino. Ua kōkua ia i ka hana ʻana i kahi melemona kūleʻa piha i ka ʻimi a me ka hana a me ka leʻaleʻa. (Pili: ʻO ka mea pono e hana-a ʻaʻole e hana-ma hope o ka holo ʻana i kahi hapalua marathon)

Inā ʻaʻole wau i hoʻolālā no ka hapalua, manaʻo wau e snuck i loko o kakaikahi ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma kaʻu moemoeā, akā ʻaʻole wau i mea e nānā ai i mua, kahi mea e hana aku ai, a me kahi mea e haʻaheo ai i ka wā o ka male ma hope, male hope Pehea-hana-i nā mea āpau-hiki-i-ka-wikiwiki? piʻo ka manaʻo.

ʻO ka mea nui, ʻaʻole wau i hana i kēlā huakaʻi he 12 mile a puni ka ʻāina ʻo Tuscan i kēlā lā. ʻO ia lā kahi a mākou i hoʻomanaʻo ai i kēlā me kēia lā, e noʻonoʻo ana i nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā leo a me nā hoʻomanaʻo ikaika i ʻoi aku ka waiwai ma mua o ka mekala.
