CR Ready

In preparation for a much needed Central American get-a-way, its time to get the mind and body in shape for another run down to Costa Rica. I decided to pick up a hobby that a 4th grade teacher put to rest years ago, a little thing called reading. As it would be a fib for me to say this was the first time i have picked up a book (out of pleasure) since, i have not done so since last year and i think my 4th grade experience would be the last time before that. Recently, I have picked up a couple of books to get me in the mood for a surf trip. The first being "In Search of Captain Zero," to get me in the Costa Rica mood and the second "Pipe Dreams," the auto/bio of Kelly Slater to make me feel better about my inadequacies in the water when the waves get a bit larger than i am comfortable with (i have not got to the part where he inevitably gets comfortable in big surf yet). As reading has not been my idea of a super fun time in the past 20 or so years, im glad i have finally got in the mood to put my nose in a couple books. Now that the mind is happy, hopefully i can get the body in shape for a couple hands full of two-a-day sessions. To try and accomplish this in the next month i just got a Stand up Paddleboard that i have put in the water every day since it was delivered at the end of last week. If, I can keep that streak going until i get out of town, the body's delight will rival the mind.
