I know how you feel but it's real simple for me ... I don't get many opportunities with 2 children under the age of 5 so I can't pass them up when they come around.

I hear ya, especially for us that freedive.  We have to lube up our wetsuits to get in.  It helps when its hot water that we bring for those 37 degree mornings.

Well, since you asked what goes on in my strange head...I always think of the guy at 20-30sec in the video.  I think, "All I have to do is fish, at least I dont have to fight Nazis for days on end."

Hate to give motivational advice and be a hipocrite  :smt002 ,
I got up yesterday with the intentions of heading out, but when I saw 29 deg. decided to take care of some things around the house :smt003.
It finally felt like January, and didn't want to miss SLR due to a cold.
If you're in the AOTY race, this is one of those oppertunities you should take advantage of, There won't be many this year :smt044

See Ya Soon,
