HAPPY Spring!

I miss the FFC swim schedule. It kept my mind off of not having a job, moving, and a variety of other things that I get obsessed about. My skin does NOT miss the FFC though and feels like it is back to "normal" with the once-a-day swim schedule. I am really pleased that my shoulders don't hurt at all too! I have swam only 37 miles so far this month - a little over 10% of last month.
I was afraid I had lost my cold water acclimation with all the warm-pool swims and weight loss but I've done two ocean swims with friends this month in 56F water. I was surprised that it wasn't that bad at all!
It is hard to get motivated to swim in the ocean on my own for some reason. I NEED to check out my new local beach at the end of Oak Street, but I get consumed by the online job search...and Facebook....and speaking of Facebook, I will have two FB friends from the East out to swim, maybe on Saturday and definitely on Sunday, in Laguna Beach!
The local dive site says that the water has warmed to 57F.
Tomorrow I will swim at Corona Del Mar with the Tri guys in the evening.
