Today at the lake it was windy and c-c-cold. I met with K5, who I haven’t seen in two weeks. Always nice to swim with her. She just started this winter, and was smart to buy thermal gear. I’m always impressed with how she is in the water and unafraid, just figuring it out as READ MORE

Placeholder Walk Instead of Whining From the Couch
Wednesday, Oct 5, 2022-Cool, hazy, the moon is out. Today at the lake…I didn’t go to the lake. I’ve been on the couch for a few days with bad allergies or maybe a cold. Sniffly, sneezy, and extra tired. Seemed smarter to go for a short walk than haul myself and all my gear to READ MORE
Dragging My Feet
Today at the lake…it’s been a week since my last swim. To be honest, it’s been hard to get back into swimming. I’m just not feeling it, and I’m not sure why. Could be the heat. We had a crazy hot summer, and I melt in the heat. I get so dizzy that I don’t READ MORE
Sunny, With a Light Breeze
Today at the lake……pure sunshine, flat water, and heat with a little breeze. Perfect. Except the closest I got to the lake was my landlord’s front lawn. What a view! It’s been two weeks and five days since my last swim, the night before my surgery. My leg is healing nicely, I think. The pain READ MORE
Not Bad for a Tuesday
May 17 6:35pm Today at the lake, the water was flat, refreshing, and full of sunbeams. There were several paddle boarders on the lake, a few motor boats, one fishing boat, a sail boat in the distance, and a floaty plane. Cuidado! Why the F floaty planes come to my lake to practice landings and READ MORE
Never Mind About the Weather
Monday April 25, 2022 | water temp 46-50 F Today at the lake it was windy, wavy, and wet. When I arrived a kiteboarder was literally sailing through the air. Badass. The waves were fairly big, and the beach was deserted. Kinda dreary and dark, but I’ve decided I don’t care and I’m not gonna READ MORE
One Day at a Time
19 April 2022 | Water 46-50 F Today at the lake it was sunny, the water was clear and flat, and I got to swim with one of my swim buddies for the third time in about 10 days. Bonus! Swim Buddy Better I have gotten used to swimming alone, so having a few swim READ MORE
Two Ducks and a Swim Buddy
April 13, 2022 | Water Temp 46 F Today at the lake it was cold outside, but the lake was nice and flat. I was happy to meet up with a swim buddy. I was tired after my zapping treatment, but always happy to be at the beach, chatting with my swim buddy, getting ready READ MORE
Just Get in the Water
April 11, 2022 | Cold but sunny Today at the lake it was cold. My buoy thermometer said 50 F, but I checked online, and it said 46 F. I also returned the thermal wetsuit I’ve been testing, so I was back in my 3:2 suit. I could really tell the difference. The other suit READ MORE
Thoughts Do NOT Equal a Plan
Feb 7, 2022 6:22pm Today at the lake, the water was silent and glassy. A congregation of assorted birds were gathered on the cement dock, included a scary looking black bird I couldn’t identify. It was all angles and sharp points, like it was made out of metal and maybe couldn’t move so well. I READ MORE
