Cool to the Core at Barton Springs in Austin, Texas

in #life7 years ago

It sure is hot in Austin during the summer. Thankfully, there are many swimming holes that stay nice and cool all year long.

I cannot believe it, but I swam the entire length of the Barton Springs pool yesterday. I was tired and HUNGRY when I reached the shallow end.

I have been making a huge effort to get out and MOVE - hiking and swimming have been my personal favorite activities.

On Sundays I try to get the kids out to do something fun in nature, they seem to enjoy the emphasis on movement as well.

For many years I felt disconnected from myself. As I spend more time in the sun with my toes in the water, and more time getting to know the limits of my body through movement, I feel like I am finding myself once again.
