Geeez... I swim too, but holy sh!t!!!!. Do you have gills? I have pruned fingers...

ankle rehab is going slow, but it is going.

lol..........yes.......as a matter-of-fact.......I do have gills. 33 years in the pool will do that to you.

super scared! I'd get smoked! I think I scared some old people at my pool the other day with my tattoos- I sorta felt bad. They are not offensive at all, just rather large. Old guys always ask if I'm in the Navy! There are all these comp. swimmers training there, so I already feel like a joke in my trunks. They all seem cool though- I tell them I'm training too! for something a little different! None of them surf, but i know any of them could paddle to Alaska and handle a serious holddown if needed. Another " tribe " indeed.

fitness and nutrition huh. Well every morning I do 40-50 push ups and increace 5 a day. Then I do crunches about 30 and add increase five a day. Then I'll do some crunches with a 25 lb bar bell, about 30- 3 diffrent ways. Then every other day I run a mile or 2 miles. When I get warmed up to surf, I just stretch every ligament in my body or well I try to. Then run for the water. Food wise, stay away from candy, pop and all fast food. I definetly drink a gallon of water a day. I usually carry it every where with me. As for bad habbits I drink beer but we all love beer so I'll leave him alone, I've decided to quite smokin weed till my b-day and see how I feel about it when that day comes around. I haven't smoked for 1 weeks. who my kinding like thats gonna last

took yesterday off- back in the pool today. Surfed monday, so I don't feel so bad! Your workouts make my side hurt

[Gazsurf]

I read NMM's workouts, get sweaty, feel tired, take a shower and grab a beverage! Some of the healthiest exercise and lowest impact I have ever had to endure, just wish the belly roll would get the message!

[redliner]

There are old ladies at my pool that swim soooo fast..... I swear they have outboard motors hooked to their a$$. Nothing like getting out paddled by a 70 year-old in a shower cap!

[Koo Nass]

Did you just say you like to get paddled by 70 year olds in shower caps?

Horizontal aerobics. (.......or vertical....)

[redliner]

Indeed. Merry Christmas to me.
