the $11 swim

Sunday, a group of us met at Coolidge Park for a nice swim around McClelland Island. I survived even though I haven't been swimming that much lately. A few places got shallow and I really didn't care to see the bottom - a bit icky. Had one fat catfish swim under me too. I didn't realize how strong the current was until we were swimming downstream and were cruising easily. When we got back to our cars, we all had tickets. boooooo.... the north shore area put up a bunch of parking meters earlier this year. all the meters and street parking is free on Sundays; however, the lot we were in was not. oops. so much for a cheap training day.
