Today, besides blogging, I’ve racked up my 500ks.
For too long I’ve looked on with tunnel envy.
Today it was my turn to don the royal robes and walk the walk that has been denied to me for so long.
With good reason, I was told beforehand, whatever happens in the tunnel, stays in the tunnel.
It truly was an amazing experience.
To start my day surrounded by such incredible natural beauty and the joyful fellowship of other swimmers is the perfect recipe for happiness.
It’s not really all about me.
So what is IT all about?
It’s about friendship.
It’s about that first rush of cold water.
It is about family.
It’s about achievement
It’s about the furry friends who wait patiently.
It’s about the post swim coffee, good conversation and so much more.
Then as quick as IT started, it was over until we do the same again tomorrow.
