Notes
Felt super good today surprisingly given the hilly 12 yesterday. 6:45 was feeling easy. I went the other direction on the same beachside road and it was actually really flat but it was small and very busy with cars. There's give and take in every relationship. I started off with another morning beach walk and coffee, did the run, 4 barefoot beach strides, and dunked in the ocean. Super cool stuff. I still can't get over how warm the ocean is.
In other news, my sting rashes are still itchy but getting better and I didn't have stomach issues so things are looking up. Today we biked down a volcano but it was really just a mountain because we didn't start all the way at the top. Still fun and pretty though. Didn't really require any leg work since it was all a 5000 ft descent. Then we got some dank tacos near the airport, took Claire to the ER to fix some vagina problems so we could get back to intense poundage and walked around a creepy garden in Iao valley which is super beautiful. It is super lush there and there were huge cliffs on either side of us. The garden was creepy because it wasn't really a tourist attraction - just a couple locals there - and there were these creepy statues of chinese conquerers with leis on them and this valley was the only place on the entire island that was covered in a gray cloud so we were in this dark fog. Didn't really feel like reading any of the signs to learn about them. We probably should've just paid the $20 to go to the tourist hike in the valley instead. Maybe we'll come back. Then we drove back to Kihei where we're staying and got some super underwhelming shaved ice. It was fine I guess but very underwhelming given that shaved ice is like, the thing here. Just seemed like watered down snowcones really. 2/5 stars. I'm writing this before dinner so I can update tomorrow on dinner and the rest of the night if it's any interesting. Seems like it'll be between pizza and mexican. Hoping pizza. Sort of using this as a travel journal too so sorry if you're reading this hoping for pure stats and training notes.
