My day started off with an easy 1500yrd swim.
Then talking story with some fellow triathletes. Followed by an easy run into Old Kona Airport. During my run I notice what looked to be a female triathlete attempting to run down the old runway. (and not a fashion runway either!!) From a distance I couldn't make out the line she was running. If I were sporting a police badge I would have pulled her over for "reckless operation" & "blatant disregard" for our fragile environment. I easily pull up behind her careful not to spook her. The closer I get the more I wonder who this "poser" is and why is her right arm crossing over her chest as if swatting at bugs? Hmmmmm....oh it's Bree Wee!! Dah!!
I blow past her as usual. Normally, I notice the extremely tight way too short running shorts and her complete outfit (not just her... this goes for all female runners I blow past) but today only thing I noticed was she wasn't wearing the most important article...her Ipod and headphones! What gives? She must have crammed it down her "gutter system" thus drowning it during one of her "long runs"! I slow up so she can catch me. We chat for the run out of Old Airport. She invites me on a bike ride. I don't have a bike. She said I could use her bike called "Juan". I told her I'm not riding any damn thing called "Juan"!! Thus we rename her bike "Juanita" if a male is to ride her!!
She's on a short run and I plan to head down Ali'i Drive for awhile. We agree to meet up for lunch around 12noon. I leave her in my dust.
I head out to Ali'i Drive dogging "tons" of overweight cruise ship passengers wobbling along the sidewalks. Our sidewalks aren't wide enough to handle the disembarking overstuffed buffet eating picture taking cigarette puffing gaudy Hawaiian aloha shirt wearing farmers tan sportin' gray haired tourists! Now I feel like I should be pulled over for veering all over Ali'i Drive. (Where's my Geritol?)
On a side note: I see tons of my local friends during my run. I hope I look good! I am sporting new running shoes! Do people notice? People notice Bree in her outfits...what about me?
After about 45 minutes I finish my easy run. Shower off at the pool and meet up with Bree at local Health Food store in old industrial area of Kona. (I know...health food in a place called Industrial area?...Please) Of course she's "running late" cause she has to "do her hair!" I about fell over laughing in the parking lot when she said that!! I knew our lunch will be packed with some "healthy" good laughs. It just happens "naturally" when we hang out! Good times! By the way, today was the first time I saw Bree since around Dec4 just before she disappeared to Costa Rica!! Well, long story short....we laughed all the way through our lunch and I certainly needed a good laugh. Thank goodness I've been doing crucnhes lately some of our laughs were "Belly Crunchers!".Case in point; She was drinking some "Russian Vodka" sounding crap called "Kombucha" Green Tea! She shakes the can prior to opening. Now, I'm no rocket scientist but usually after someone violently shakes a can like she did it is usually followed by a loud "pop & sizzle" sound thus spraying everyone and everything with-in spitting distance. I quickly grab a few napkins and prepare to duck under table. Mind you this was a "scene" in the cafe area of this store! She's giggling like a school girl. "BAAAM". She opens the can and nothing happens!! Sweet Jesus, thank the Lord!! Silly girl! But it gets better. As I educate myself about this liquid concoction I notice their slogan on the can reads; "LIVING FOOD FOR THE LIVING BODY"!! I about pee my pants! WTF? Living food for the living body? as opposed to "...dead body? WTF....come on....now that is funny!! And the best part, Bree Wee is the poster child for such product!! LOL!!
"LIVING FOOD FOR THE LIVING BODY"
I am still laughing at the "whole organic" lunch scene today. If any of you know me then you realize I mean no harm while I occasionally poke "raw" fun at my friends... all in good taste! Today I needed a good laugh and wanted to share with you this comic episode.
Oh, I almost forgot. We ran into each other at post office too! She was having trouble gathering all her mail in her arms, some fell to ground and I offered to help. So I leaned over and swatted all the remaining mail in her arms half-way across the Post Office floor! Frickin' riot I tell ya. Then I ran away laughing my ass off....as she crawled to ground lauging trying gathering her "air mail"!! ....Few old ladies were laughing...at us!...:)
I do believe we can create a TV show from a handful of our encounters!

I just wet my pants, I am not even kidding! I laughed so hard from the moment you asked me where Bob Marley was (still bummed I drowned him in my sweat) till I said BYE at the post office (you should have stayed at the post office with me-after you kicked my mail thank you very much), I met this guy and we pretty much had an arm wrestle match because I could not open a darn box fully taped! Thanks for hanging out, that was so much fun! Glad your job and life is going well... when the lifesport girls get here we have to show you some real laughs! have fun Pat... cheers! and you really should drink that stuff, it is so good once you shake the snot stuff away... and way to dodge the cruisers!
I still have the picture in my mind of all your mail flying across the Post Office Floor and me running away laughing!!!LOL!!
You two are funny! Great post! Hey Pat...how can we get that video of Bree that keeps getting yanked off of every site? It inspires me when I need inspirtaion...you did a great job! Gets me all misty-eyed everytime, I tell ya! I want to have it without it getting yanked out of my reach after I have watched it once. :)
Have a great weekend.
