This means that it’s always hard to get into the pool at the beginning of my swim. Once I’ve been in the water for even one lap, the chill wears [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=speakingpresence.com&amp;blog=6257156&amp;post=365&amp;subd=speakingpresence&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
