Although much of the focus on the crazy 444 plan for is on
the running – the most difficult part by far is managing the travel. Until this AM I did not know if I would be
spending the day/night in New Zealand or Fiji.
My original itinerary planned for travel from Tokyo to Fiji through
Auckland. However, with the concern
regarding dengue fever in Fiji I needed to weigh that risk against the potential
cost of change flights. In the end, the best information I could get suggested that the risk of dengue in the part of Fiji I was planning to visit wasn't that significant and I kept my initial plan with the caveat with the that I would remain in the beach
area and not travel to other areas of the island…not much of a sacrifice, when
you see the beach here.
I decided to get my run in early to allow me to focus to
writing, travel plans, and email for the rest of the evening. I am sure that after I complete my journey, I
will be asked more than once, “What was your favorite run?” In that case, running 4 miles barefoot on the
beach in Fiji will be hard to beat.
Trivia -- Celebrities play an important role in Parkinson’s
Awareness, offering a recognizable face that can engage large segments of the
population to deliver a message. In that
regard, lists of famous people with Parkinson’s are easy to find. These lists usually contain the name of Josefa
Iloilo, who was president of Fiji 2000-2009 and subsequently died in 2011 at
the age of 90.
As I had hoped, Fiji provided just what it is known for – a
beautiful island on which to relax and recharge your batteries. My only regret is that my beautiful wife,
Lila, was not here to share the sunset with me.
COUNTY SPONSOR
I would like to thank good friends, Clark and Cara Trimmer,
for their generous donation to 444 Parkinson’s Foundation to help expand the
impact of Run-the-World 4 Parkinson’s Disease.
Equally important, I want thank them for their support in the planning stages
of my project and the formation of the foundation.
I agree, you'll see some incredible places this month but the sunrise beach run in Fiji will have to rank near the top of the most memorable. Did you run all 4 miles barefoot! Can't wait to read the Melbourne report, have fun in Singapore!
