Oh, that's awesome! Definitely sail, sail, sail! Congrats.

WooHooforFuzzbean!

Congrats, fuzzbean!

Admittedly this was not very hard: put on long pants and a long-sleeved shirt and spend ten minutes failing to 1) touch the bottom or sides of the pool and 2) drown. I also had to put a lifevest on while in the water.

I suspect I am going to have to be very firm about not wanting to row on the Masters level team, which meets at 5.30a 4 days a week. If I come back here in a few months talking about moving up, someone please slap me.

I think rowing is so cool.

I've always wanted to sail.

I rowed today. Well, more like dipped my paddle in the water. My parents bought a new kayak.

Knowing me, I would sign on to that 5:30a team, not just for the enjoyment of rowing, but in the hopes that I would be committed to something to get my ass going in the morning and lose weight. I'm warped like that.

The worst part is, I keep thinking, wellll...I've got classes TTh, so I could get up early MWFSa and then be up and ready to go for the day...I bet I'd get a lot done...

MADNESS.

How cool! 10 minutes sounds like a long time to tread water clothed. We found a nice little small lake close to home that we've seriously thought about tooling around on kayaks on. They dont' allow motorized anything (thankfully), & it looks so peaceful out there, checking out the nooks and crannies.

Lake Union?

BTW, there is a technique which involves removing pants, tying off cuffs, and bringing them over your head in a way that entraps air then using them a water wings.

You might have gotten extra points.

Green Lake, danf. It's only about two miles from my apartment which is cool too.

And it was a family pool. I suspect removing my pants might have gotten me a few stinkeyes from the moms :)

I passed my float test today...

So, you are a witch?

Crone, actually. But everyone knew that already.
