14 foot tiger shark says, "No you AIN'T swimming!"

Today's workout: 7 mile run, easy pace

actual: 7.6miles
pace: 8:45/mile
body complaints: left calf, left outer quad, left knee (IT band), right scapula

and yeah. seriously Hapuna Beach was closed today due to a 14 foot long tiger shark that has been hanging out in the bay the past few days. So while I ran one of my regular spots (Hapuna - Puako) I had to drive down the road a ways to A Bay (@Waikaloa) and swim there. Did another mostly arms only swim. Estimated to be 400 meters. Swam to the black and white striped buoy that is always offshore in A Bay and back to shore. And yeah while I was out there I considered how it would take the shark @ Hapuna about 3 minutes to swim down the coast, find me, and eat me, but he didn't.

Afterwards I had an ART appt in Kona w/Dr Nancy. Good stuff having your workout complaints worked on almost immediately after you're done working out.

All in all a lovely day.
