PAGE: When a race is canceled - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Participants in Na Wahine O Ke Kai women’s outrigger canoe race originally scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, called off because of Hurricane Nolo. For an athlete, a race date can quietly organize an entire season. Training fits between work and family. Weekends are planned around longer sessions, and money is set aside for travel. By the final week, there is a particular kind of anticipation: After all those ordinary days of preparation, you are finally going to find out what you can do. Tha

What would you like your body to help you do 10 years from now? Hike a long, demanding trail? Run a 5K or 10K or a marathon? Paddle farther, play a stronger game of tennis, learn to surf? Those are worthwhile ambitions after 50. They give strength training a purpose we can picture. Conversations about getting older can become surprisingly small. We talk about the number on the scale, our energy levels, how our clothes fit, or what we should stop doing. I would prefer if we talked more about what

ERSOY: Protein is having a comeback — especially after 40 - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, nutrition conversations were dominated by what to remove. Less fat, less carbs, less sugar, less snacking. Less this, less that. But lately, one of the most useful shifts in nutrition is not about what people are cutting out. It is about what many of us are finally making sure we get enough of: protein. Protein is not a fad nutrient. It has always mattered. But it is getting more attention now because more people are beginning to understand what happens when intake stays too low for t
