A Body Day -
The best days are when my body and brain are both strong for some physical activity, but most days are a mix of one part of me being more into activity than the other.
This morning I was not enthusiastic about getting up and to Avila to swim but I got myself there. The 30° air temperature and offshore breeze didn't improve my attitude. Getting in was easy but the water felt extra cold, probably 49°, but with the wind and air temperature the water could have been in the bottom 50's.
Before I got to the 4th buoy my body took over, I was feeling good, cold but OK, and my stroke felt relaxed and smooth.
There was a SE and SW swell which made things interesting.
The water was nice and clean.
Where the 3 to 4 foot surf was breaking the water was too deep to stand in so I balled up and ducked into a few and let them carry me to the sand.
At the showers the wind was not my friend but I was somehow still OK with the cold.
I'll be back at 7 on Thursday.
