Heather EvansWoohoo - I did it. I hit the 2km mark. So chuffed with myself & I feel pretty good, tired arms & shoulders but not too shabby for this old girl 😁. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swimming</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Exercise</a>

Heather EvansWell I am quite happy with this, another PB but damn I miscounted my laps 🏊🏼‍♀️. I thought I’d finally managed 2km - close, but no cigar. I’m not unhappy though, I’m closing in on it. I also feel a lot better for the movement & the water, the arm doesn’t ache now & the headachy feeling is gone. I’m just a bit tired 😂. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Exercise</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swimming</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CovidBooster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidBooster</a>

FrankAnother Wednesday, another swim. Barely anyone in the pool today, it was delightfully quiet. At one stage it was just myself and one other swimmer in our lane. Wednesday also means weird covers played at aqua aerobics. Today's very weird cover was a disco version of Eye of the Tiger.<a href="https://masto.nu/tags/swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swimming</a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exercise</a>

Heather EvansGood morning tooters. It’s nearly 20c already & again we’re heading to a sunny & hot 32c, but it should be dropping a little over the next few days. I didn’t sleep the best last night. I may not have felt the Covid injection yesterday but I knew about it every time I rolled over during the night. I’m a little headachy this morning too but that could be the poor sleep, the warm night or the injection - or all three 🤪. I am fine though. I’m off to the pool in a short while, the cool water will be wonderful. I’m so looking forward to the swim 🏊🏼‍♀️ & a couple of hours of laps. Wishing everyone a great <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Wednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wednesday</a> hop everyone has a good day🌻. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Weather</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CovidBooster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidBooster</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Exercise</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swimming</a>

Cosmic Librarian'Wild Swimming' Does Something Amazing to Your Mind, Study RevealsPerhaps the main takeaway though is in how wild swimming delivers its mental wellbeing benefits – essentially through enhanced feelings of freedom. Perhaps, in a world of growing external pressures, this is the reason wild swimming is becoming so popular.I agree...As a kid, I grew up swimming in lakes and rivers. I don't like swimming pools at all. There's no connection there.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swimming</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wild</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wellbeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wellbeing</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedom</a><a href="https://www.sciencealert.com/wild-swimming-does-something-amazing-to-your-mind-study-reveals" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencealert.com/wild-swimming-does-something-amazing-to-your-mind-study-reveals</a>

Heather EvansGood morning tooters, another week has started. It was quite a warm night again last night & is currently about 17c heading to an ok 31c today. I didn’t sleep in this morning - waking in the dark of what 6am is like now. Still not really sleeping soundly, but that’s ok for now. I’ve had my breakfast 🍳 & my coffee ☕️ & in about half an hour I’ll get myself ready to go to the pool 🏊🏼‍♀️ . Today I’m meeting my friend there, so lots of chats between the laps 😄. After that I need to head up home & give my own garden a good watering. I might take back a few things that I’m not going to need for the rest of the week. My daughter & I had planned to meet up later but we both have other things to do as well so we’ve put it off until later in the week when she has another day off & spend the day for just the two of, mother & daughter. No little ones 😁. Hope everyone enjoys their <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Monday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monday</a>.

Erika Varis DoggettFundraising! I’m doing the Olympic distance triathlon at Long Beach in support of Children’s Hospital LA. It’s my first full tri at this distance —I did a relay last year, and the sprint distance before that. This year I’m also putting more energy behind fundraising efforts. I’ll be sharing the donation link with training updates as I go. If you have a couple dollars to spare, the kids there would appreciate it. <a href="https://secure1.chla.org/site/TR/LongBeachTriathlon/LongBeachTriathlon?px=1772989&pg=personal&fr_id=1530" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://secure1.chla.org/site/TR/LongBeachTriathlon/LongBeachTriathlon?px=1772989&pg=personal&fr_id=1530</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/triathlon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#triathlon</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#california</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/swimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swimming</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a>
