Guess what I did today?
I went kayaking.
A little over a year ago my mother won a Yellow Colbra Escape Kayak in a church raffle
Stats: 10'2" length; 31" width; 34 lbs. weight; 240 lbs. weight capacity
Today was my first day trying it out. I walked 1.25 miles to where the launch is. My mother drove down, bringing the paddle. We took turns paddling around Purity Lake. Afterwards I walked over to the beach to cool off swimming. The water was lovely. From there I walked home. I spent roughly an hour and a half outdoors.
The swimming is having a measurable effect on my getting in shape. While my waist is shrinking slowly, my neck measurement is going down nicely. Yesterday I was able to button a 15 1/2 collar shirt which has not fit in over a year.
