Today I paddled my boat for 100 minutes. These days I'm on a Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday training schedule, but as I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning and another doctor appointment after lunch, I decided to go to the river today rather than try to squeeze it in tomorrow.
I haven't yet heard today's high temperature, but it's freakishly warm--in the 80s, no question. I felt pretty hot while doing some work outside this afternoon. I'm not terribly sorry we had a mild winter, but I sure hope we have some bona-fide spring weather before the summer dog days get here.
One thing about a warm sunny day is it brings out the turtles and snakes out on the river. I saw one snake and a whole bunch of turtles today. I really enjoy the turtles: they sit on floating logs and sun themselves, sometimes a dozen of them lined up on one log. When they see me coming, they file off into the water, creating a series of "ploop, ploop, ploop" sounds. I've always thought that's kind of cute.
