Whoa, a day off

I don't get too many days off at this point in life, so when I do it is nice. Well, it actually is sort of odd because I don't really know what to do. I putz around the house, go run, clean up, and then it is still only early afternoon. I was going to go to Gear West today and work, but I didn't!

On the other front I have been loving working for Three Rivers Park. The people that work with me are fantastic, very helpful, and kind. This past week we did paddle rescue training at the Minnetonka swim pond. It was a good experience. The water was nippy, but not terrible. The wind is what was really the worst part, for it was chilly. I did better with the canoe than the kayak. I flipped my own kayak attempting to flip over the other one. I leaned over and lost my center of balance. Lesson learned.

Now comes the training. I swam twice this week. The first was only about 500 yards. The next one was about 1500 and if felt really nice to be back in the water. I think I will get a pass for the gym because the pool is actually the right temperature for lap swimming. I loathe jumping into a pool that feels like bathtub water. I have also set a mini goal for myself-that I will keep to myself until I accomplish it. Once I do that then I will let you all know what my goal is.

Until next time. Stay classy.
