It is common for many to ask what I can eat and what kind of medication to I have to take. Truth is, I can eat anything I want, although like before, I’d like to stay healthy. Anyway, this Sunday will be 3 months since surgery and last week:
Ran 16.5 miles
Went for a swim hoping to do 500 meters to stretch and swam 1200 meters
Hiked 5 miles and worked on resistance for another hour
This morning went for a quick 4-mile run at 5 a.m.
I’m doing just fine.

RIK note: Here is a link to an inspiring story by KITV’s Paula Akana about Pono’s kidney donation to his high school friend and their efforts to increase awareness of organ donation in Hawaii – best of luck to you both! And thank you, Paula, for covering it!

We are so inspired by everyone involved in this story who is getting the word out about kidney donation! Rock on, Pono!
