Tired arms

[susandennis]

I woke up early this morning and so got to the pool early and just decided to swim until I couldn't swim any more. Turns out that comes to an hour and 30 minutes of swimming. I could have done more but I hit the fun wall. Any more would have been work and not fun. According to Misfit, I only did 1.6 miles. I'm a tortoise swimmer. I think, however, it is better for me to swim longer than faster. And I have no plans for competitive swimming. So all's cool. I also blasted the fuck out of my fitness goal for today. And it's not yet 9 am!

It's Africa hot - at least Seattle-wise-speaking. And I just made the mistake of looking at the 10 day forecast. Monday and Tuesday look like they could be tolerable and the rest is stay-inside-with-the-shades-drawn-and-the-a/c-cranked. It is summer. And, hopefully, it is in its last throws. And at least it is now at all, not even in the least, humid. thankyoujesus.

Nothing outstanding on the docket. My everything seems to be on a fairly even keel right now which actually suits me quite nicely. I'm a very lucky girl.

Portland is having some 100 degree days this weekend. I'm go thankful for the AC. It's all 80s and 90s next week too. GROSS.

I don't think I could swim 1.6 miles.

Fellow Portlander here. This heat sucks.

It was so much better today! Hopefully after this current week, we will get some fall.

Laws, yesterday was SUPER humid here, like 90% and 98F. Today, currently, it's 102F but only 14%.

Similarly, Sunday and Monday here will be in the low 80s, and then starting Weds, it cranks back up into the high 90s. I LOATHE SUMMER.

My first visit to Seattle was on a lark in 1989. It was during Bumbershoot and I was staying at a B&B near Volunteer Park. It didn't have a/c. Despite temperatures of 98-99 degrees (a record, I believe) I fell in love with Seattle!

I'm curious how long I can tread water. I always do an hour now, though one time I did 80 minutes just to outlast a swim team that showed up and hogged up the pool. But I can't remember feeling exhausted after that or anything. I should block out a morning to see if I can do two hours.
