OC MARATHON 2026 // Marathon #7 🍊🏃🏻‍♀️🎉 Surprised myself big time with this PR! This training block *did not* go as planned. The Kona low that brought so much rain for literal months meant that my long run plans kept changing, including attempting long runs on a treadmill and calling it 5 miles in due to extreme boredom— twice! 😜 The day I decided I was just going go out + get as close to 20 miles in as I could, it was forecasted to be partially cloudy, and ended up down-poring, like full on sideways rain. So, my longest run this training block was 14 miles 😳 One important note: I started lifting 3 days/week in October 2025 and kept that up through this training block. I have zero doubt that helped big time. I could absolutely feel the strength difference in my legs now running these last two marathons, having added regular weight training to my routine. Nothing crazy heavy, more focused on single leg + balance strength. And asana + stretching 3 days per week too, of course. I definitely considered changing my registration to the half, but realized I ran the Honolulu way less trained than I am now, so decided to just stick with the plan and do the full. Race day was *perfect.* Cloudy, low 60’s. Found parking just fine. Got to the start and found my pacers. Decided to just try to stick between the 4:50 and 5:00 pacers as best I could, and keep it as close to 5 hours as possible. The @ocmarathon course is GORGEOUS, and so many people come out to cheer, I didn’t even put in headphones til mile 20. My legs and feet felt great in the same pair of @asicsrunning I ran Honolulu 2025 in. Love those shoes. My fueling was going well, I was alternating between caffeinated Gu chews + non-caffeinated other brand. Hydration felt good, water only at every aid station. I kept with the 4:50 pacers + ended up beating my previous best time from 2021 Honolulu Marathon by 2 mins, despite having to stop 3 times 💩🤣 Chip time: 4:48:15 Best advice I’ve ever gotten about marathons: Every marathon is a marathon. They don’t get easier, you just learn from the runs before. (And some days the race goddess blesses you with a PR run🪄) #ocmarathon #racerecap #marathon taken in OC Fair & Event Center by @ktmeck

The SAVE Act is federal legislation that could create new barriers to voter registration, especially for women whose legal names no longer match their birth certificates and trans and non-binary folks who use a different name than their name assigned at birth. You can speak up. Contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and tell them to protect accessible voter registration. It takes two minutes. Your voice matters. Find your elected officials at congress.gov/find-your-member or call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected. Stay informed. Stay engaged. Protect the right to vote. #VotingRights #CivicEngagement #WomensRights #SpeakUp #SAVEact by @ktmeck

Being amongst people who care is how I am staying hopeful❤️ (And counting the days until the midterms— 296 to go!) Big thanks to @maui_indivisible for organizing the protest today. If you are feeling like it’s all too much or don’t know what to do to stay hopeful and sane, I would really encourage you to find a group of peaceful protesters and join them every chance you get. If you’re on Maui, follow the Maui Indivisible folks and come join us🫶🏽 taken in Maui by @ktmeck

honolulu marathon 2025 + more 💚 It downpours as we are walking to the start line. Tried to keep my feet dry, but that was not possible. This was the year of puddles and chaffing. This is also the year I am reminded of the power of mindset. I’ve seen so many takes on this run by folks who’ve done it before as being the hardest run bc of the rain and humidity. For me, it was a great run, and I know it’s because I decided before I started to have a great run. Last year I was so hard on myself for not getting X time, and basically the whole run I was sad and annoyed bc I could see my time “slipping away.” This year I decided to come back to why I run. I run because I love to run. I love to see the world at a slow trot, and I LOVE to be in a sea of 42,000 people, in the rain, before the sun is even thinking of coming up, to run 26.2 miles together. It makes me cry every time. There is something sacred and magical in the act of making it to that starting line, in doing something so crazy and hard, for fun. Anyway, I finished. I beat last year’s time, and have also run 26.2 miles faster than I did that day, and I’m not stressed about it either way. Marathon #6 in the books 🥳 Also must note that I’ve never had such bad chaffing, like everywhere. The seams of my shorts chaffed both thighs all the way across, inner thighs of course, my back where my shorts were rubbing, the seam of my top chaffed my upper belly, and my armpits. I didn’t really feel it while I was running— really grateful for that. Getting to see @mnomad_ + @kealohapoetry and wipe the raindrops off my sunnies in Hawaii Kai, running mile 22 with @troseo4 + seeing @caseylbel for a finish line energy boost were all highlights of this year’s run. And of course the 26 people on my list also carried me through❤️ Grateful for sweet aunty time, chill rainy day time with my fam and celebrating Talley’s 11th birthday at the ice skating winter wonderland 🎂 My heart is full ✨ #honolulumarathon #honolulumarathon2025 #hnl #runrecap #marathonrecap #runforfun taken in Honolulu Marathon by @ktmeck

Team Spotlight ✨K A T I E ✨ Katie is a multifaceted creative with a passion for color, movement, and storytelling. Inspired by the wild beauty of nature and the spark of authentic moments, she brings an eye for vibrant detail and a heart for community to every project she touches. After exploring political theory, activism, and fashion design in her early years, Katie earned her Bachelor of Science in Political Science with a focus on Diversity in the Law before making the leap from Colorado to the islands of Hawai‘i. Her path into design and marketing began unexpectedly in 2012 while managing a yoga studio, where she found joy in crafting the signage, campaigns, and community connections that brought the space to life. That spark grew into a full-fledged creative career. Since 2016, Katie has worked across industries—from car dealerships and restaurants to national nonprofits, local Maui organizations, lū‘au, sporting events, and music festivals. Since joining Cake Media in 2023, she’s especially loved amplifying the mission-driven voices of the nonprofits she partners with, blending strategy with storytelling to help their work shine. Katie thrives when collaborating with organizations that uplift the collective. She’s at her best when she can immerse herself in their mission, build genuine relationships, and capture their essence through photography, video, and thoughtful design. Outside of work, you can usually find Katie running Maui’s roads in marathon training mode, practicing yoga, hiking island trails, or nose-deep in a book on the beach. We LOVE having Katie as a part of our team. @cakemediamaui wouldn’t be the same without her! 🍰 taken in Maui, Hawaii by @ktmeck

Freedom of speech looks good on us, Maui ❤️ Resistance energy was strong out there today. People lining the street for blocks, waving signs. People in cars driving by, waving signs. People playing music, sharing the message with song. People sitting in the shade, waving flags. Over 5,000 people showed up at the Kahului No Kings protest. 506 days until midterm elections. #nokings #nokingsprotest taken in Island of Maui by @ktmeck
