A lovely morning swim. I've never seen The Solent so clear! #solent #leeonsolent #solentbluetits #calmstarttotheday #swimoftheday #wildswimming #slowswimming #seaswimming #finesaratoga #wheresthesungone https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSJNilBFdEg/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I woke up today, I was going to scrap this swim. 😝 . My last few have been less than satisfying and I was just avoiding meeting with uncomfortable again. That, on top of a tight schedule. . However, I read to my daughter’s 2nd grade class this morning and one of the books picked out was about a Chipmunk that couldn’t swim and persevered. #ishityounot 😳 . So, “little by little” it learned and when I left the school, I felt like that simple message is what I needed to make it work and get it done. . I picked up the kids and did teacher conferences on time (with wet hair) but I GOT IT DONE. AND, it was the fastest, strongest feeling swim in a long time! . I only cut it short by 100M too! And the Vitamin D was an extra boost to my sun loving soul. ☀️ ❤️ . Moral: Listen to the messages around you.😉 . #justkeepswimming #mermaidintraining #swimoftheday #findingfast #sunworshipper #getoutside #bettysquad2020 #im703 #roadtoironman (at Memorial, Houston) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hhpjnA2lK/?igshid=xpgh53xo6id7
