Swimming
Now that I know of a swimming hole that tends to have few people (especially very few children). Surrounded by tree covered hill sides, no plants growing from the bottom (yick), and lots of really deep water, I am swimming a lot more!
I went out about 8pm, no one was there (bad idea to swim alone, I know) I almost turned around and left. It is a good idea to have someone around while swimming, plus it was getting cold out quickly, and the wind was coming up. I went anyways. I think I am finally toughening up to the cold water. I did not go through a major adjustment time where it is hard to move.
Yesterday I swam out to the second buoy and back. A decent length. I was out of breath at the end, but okay. Today I swam out to the second buoy and back twice. Had to sit in the water next to shore a bit before I had enough breath to climb out. The waves were actually forming crests, and were quite fun to ride up and down. I would say the swell was at least a foot high. Maybe higher. The walk back up the hill to the car was slow with many pauses to catch my breath. However I don't feel sore or tired. Just...mmm... how to put it... Languorous? Yes, languorous. I feel good. Though my legs let me know how tired they were when I had to climb the steps home. Living on the thrid floor means lots of steps.
Tommorrow I need to clean stables, I received the okay from B to come really early to avoid the heat. I think I will take my swimsuit with me to the stables. Then I can go to the lake afterwards and cool off. *grin*
For an Earth, I sure am attracted to water.
