A Snowy Swim

My update yesterday on the swim workout missed the best detail - it was a beautiful snowy swim! Really!

Southeast Michigan had experienced sleet and ice pellets most of the day, making it a salty & wet commute to Lifetime Fitness. In the 90 minutes I was in the lap pool, the weather shifted to thick, huge fluffy wet snow. At one point during the swim, I glanced over to the large wall of windows, framed by tall pines and there were beautiful large flakes floating gracefully.

It was inspirational! I continued swimming with a smile on my face.

In the parking lot, my car was covered with a solid 2" of snow. A gentleman parked next to me was just arriving and asked if I had a snow brush - I did! He still helped me clear the snow off my car. Traffic inched carefully - the snow covered a 1/2" of gravel-like ice! It took 45 minutes to go the 5 miles home. But it was a gorgeous drive!
