Just Doin’ It…

October 4, 2012 By: mamagrace7127 Comments

I rarely post on a Thursday. But I don’t succumb to social media peer pressure and jump into freezing cold water either.

So here, it is! My first dip of the season!

There was a bit of hesitation and reservation but hey, as we all say, “Life isn’t a dress rehearsal”

And there was even a serendipitous moment thrown in.

I braved the cold waters of Sydney today. And here’s the vloggy proof.

You’re welcome.

    I am so insanely jealous of your swim. I love sea water swimming but up here it is just not an option, between the crocs and the jelly fish I just can’t swim fast enough. Not to mention the horrible tepid temperature of the water.

    Love that you thought to video it, I had my first dip of the season a couple of weeks ago and it was around 16.5 degrees. Read about it here https://fitfabforty.com/?p=179
    Just do it! Love it.
