My mom (Mimi) called me from Hawaii last night to report 3 consecutive swims during 2008. She is the teeny tiny Japanese woman in the picture in the blue fleece. She said she decided to join me in my Polar Bear swim attempt - 40 miles, without a wetsuit, during winter (12/21 - 3/21)! Of course, she'll be logging her miles in the warm waters of Kauai, but I am super excited to be sharing these swims with my mom.
I've asked my web savy friend, Kenneth, to create a quick chart for the blog to track our progress. I hope to have it up soon.
A cold, 48 degree, mile this morning. Bumped into a few jellies and almost ran into a row boat. 36.25 miles to go!
