good evening. small windy waves around the island today but expecting a solid north swell tomorrow. hopefully they can get the haleiwa pro going. besides another day of the stock market crash, nothing else going on around here. just a mellow day to get things done. and that’s just what i did….
from all the diving and surfing i’ve been doing, my cardios feel in top shape. i feel like i can paddle my surfboard or swim to molokai no problem. up until 5 years ago, i use to weight train at the gym 5x a week. i felt strong but if i swam 1 mile, i would be exhausted. i guess there’s a tradeoff. i’ve been out of the gym for a while so when i woke up this morning, i was in training mode. i grabbed the 40lbs dumbbells to warm up and it felt so dam heavy. the weights felt big today and i felt small. and when i jumped in my car to drive home, even my steering wheel felt heavy…. i’ll be hurting tomorrow for sure….
on the way back, i stopped by to fill up gas. i thought something was wrong when the pump stopped at $45.50. it usually takes $65 to fill up my tank. gas prices are down and it’s just in time. north shore season is here…. thanks gasman. and i hope the gasman is nice to the tahitians too because gas is almost $9 a gallon there. nuts…
after training hard, a good lunch is a must. i ate salted meat with luau leaves, lomi salmon, opihi, and a big bowl of poi. followed by a smoothie. i gained 8lbs in tahiti and another 5lbs today after lunch… but who cares because i’m a pretty happy guy. a happy guy with a big stomach….
