Stroke, Stroke, Breathe

I went for a swim in the Lake today. Very refreshing. I swam out to a certain buoy, and returned.

I covered about .8 miles, judging from this very cool USATF "map your own route" site. It's designed for runners, but it let me draw a path right across the water on a satellite-map hybrid view.

It was a little on the cold side, and there were some waves to contend with. But it was a lot more fun than swimming laps.

Swimming laps
Is like taking a nap
On a long black line.

Open water enlivens the mind.
