I got to do something way cool today- I surfed Lake Michigan!
Milwaukee is sometimes referred to as America's Third Coast. Living here reminds me of being in a sea side town on the East Coast. It's beautiful, lively, and the lake has kept me company many times in both sadness and celebration since I've lived here.
Anyway, today I suited up in a wetsuit, grabbed a board, and went for it! The air temp was about 38 degrees Fahrenheit and the water was about 45 :) I caught 2 or 3 waves, and a few more just sitting on my knees instead of fully popping up. I kept thinking of that exercise Kelli has had me do before that's similar to popping up on a surfboard (note: It's much harder in water and in a tight wetsuit).
I ended up surfing from 7 am to 12 pm and my body is sore all over. Probably gonna dive into a famous Kelli yoga/stretch video real soon. Surfing is an ENTIRE body workout on speed. I swear.
