Celebrating Angie (Day 153)

We had a very fun celebration of fifty-four years of Angie this morning. Arwen, Sheila, Colleen, Kim, Kira, and I arrived early to blustery winds, gray skies, and choppy waves at the Albany Bulb. It was also low tide and so it was another mud slog and flop into the water kind of entry. But… Read More Celebrating Angie (Day 153)

Mother’s Day (Day 128)

What I wanted for Mother’s Day was to swim with my girls and be provided with breakfast. What I got was swimming with Hazel and making my own breakfast before rushing off to the Bay Area Book Festival. I actually got a lot more than that. First, so many friends made it down to the… Read More Mother’s Day (Day 128)

One Hundred Days of Swimming

Approaching this milestone I’ve thought a lot about how I want to commemorate my hundredth day of swimming. I imagined a swimming field trip to somewhere amazing, an extra-long swim that would feel like a big accomplishment, but, mostly, I wanted to celebrate with my Albany Bulb swimming buddies. Coffee, treats, and lots of lovely… Read More One Hundred Days of Swimming

My 50th Swim! (Day 50)

It’s my fiftieth swim! My fiftieth swim on my swimming quest in honor of my fiftieth birthday. It seems like I should have celebrated this milestone somehow, but instead, I am only just realizing its significance as I sit down to write. Isn’t that often the way? Maybe it’s as it should be. It’s in… Read More My 50th Swim! (Day 50)

Celebrating Nice People (Day 43)

We celebrated Colleen and Marcia’s birthdays today down at the bulb.  First with a swim. Loads of people plunged into the water this morning; the unseasonably warm weather, the opportunity to celebrate nice people, the joy of a Saturday swim. The water continues to feel refreshingly cold yet balmy for this time of year. I’m… Read More Celebrating Nice People (Day 43)

Reunited (and it feels so good…) (Day 26)

I’ve been waiting 26 days to write this blog post! Today our friend Sheila returned from New York and we had a long-awaited reunion of our original swimming pod, the Salty, Saucy, Swim Sisters. I started open water swimming last January, spurred by a pandemic year of exploring the bay by kayak and paddleboard, and… Read More Reunited (and it feels so good…) (Day 26)

Gratitude (Day 12)

If I were a cup, I’d be spilling all over the floor right now, so full am I with the love showered on me in the last several days. Kevin bought me these woolly boots for my birthday to keep my feet toasty after my swims and I’ve been wearing them constantly. My feet are… Read More Gratitude (Day 12)

Inverness (Day 10)

My pre-birthday celebrations continued today. Kevin and I drove up to Inverness where we are staying for two nights at the beautiful Dancing Coyote Beach. It was the first day since January 1st that if I wasn’t doing this swimming challenge, I would have skipped. My plan was to swim in Tomales Bay when we… Read More Inverness (Day 10)

Celebrating (Day 9)

I’ve spent the day buzzing with the particular kind of warm happiness that comes from being showered in kindness. Angie and Arwen organized a birthday swim celebration for me and it was fantastic. Old friends and new friends (and a few folks who just gamely joined in) gathered to swim and then eat treats (so… Read More Celebrating (Day 9)
