I appreciate your attention to my comment and reaching out to him. He explained further what happened, which isn't mentioned in your story, but because it was so long ago I figure I would only care about it now. Things are fine, especially that you two are friends. Sorry for coming off harsh; aside from the aforementioned, I am particular when it comes to privacy. Maybe I will meet you in the future.

Wow, what a surprising comment to read...Hi, Shaira,<br />Wow, what a surprising comment to read.<br />Sorry to get you upset, and also that I didn't read your earlier email (I get so much spam on my yahoo account so I miss a lot of messages, even if it doesn't go into my spam folder automatically).<br />No, I didn't specifically ask your father's permission to post to his photo. I was not implying he was trying to hurt me or that HE didn't know what HE was doing. The use of ibuprofen in endurance events is controversial and not without risks, but I was VERY grateful for the ibuprofen and his generosity in offering to help; part of the aloha spirit omnipresent in ultrarunning, even outside the beautiful islands of Hawaii. I believe your father is friends with me on Facebook. If HE minds his photo in this blog, please have him message me, or comment here, and I probably can be convinced to remove it.<br />Cheers / Aloha,<br />MarkMark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-54722943153412616152015-08-18T16:08:34.820-07:002015-08-18T16:08:34.820-07:00Hello Mark.

I sent you an email about a year ago requesting that you remove my father's picture and name, Eric. You do not have his consent nor do I appreciate the unecessary comment about his willingness to help. You did not know what you were talking about, giving someone amounts of medicine does not mean anything. Are you trying to warn people Mark? Again, unecessary. Next time, have a little self control and keep your rude urges out of your blogs and kindly remove his photo and name from your story.<br /><br />-Shaira, His DaughterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-9595613054139078762015-08-04T07:21:19.541-07:002015-08-04T07:21:19.541-07:00I thought you were awesome and I hope they have yo...I thought you were awesome and I hope they have you on again.

Your legend continues to grow! (And it helped to picture you calling in a few minutes late without having prepared at all, doing last minute scrambling to get your thoughts in some semblance of order. But you're quick enough to handle it all like a pro, just like all those races.)notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-64136542449019143642015-03-24T14:38:19.800-07:002015-03-24T14:38:19.800-07:00this is cool this is cool andrehttp://www.andremoves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-45268361861972797092015-02-05T20:43:21.931-08:002015-02-05T20:43:21.931-08:00Wow I made in into your blog!
