mermaids can't walk

Nothing is more sobering than trying on swimsuits after Jan.1 of any given year.

Those three-way mirrors … are not your friend especially after a month of excess drinking and eating. I survived though and picked up a new suit. You see my plan is to compliment my running so I get a complete body work out. Besides swimming is so good for toning and who couldn’t do with some extra toning?

The key now is to fly under the radar. The last thing I want to do is run into anyone from work or people I have interviewed when I am half naked and wet.

So far it hasn’t happened.

Grande Prairie is just too small. Within half an hour, someone recognized me and we had a lovely conversation. Her opening was “do you come here often?” No joke.

I went to the family swim which was chaotic as expected. It felt good to be in the water once more. I used to swim a lot when I was living in Ottawa. I just hope I can squeeze a couple swims in during the week.
