Why we keep swimming in polluted waters
Odd choice of title - it's because we don't have a choice - but interesting article on how wild swimmers feel about the UK'S appalling #SewagePollution

My birthday was announced in the pre-run brief (unbeknownst to me, as I was already on my spot), so I had about 350 parkrunners wish me Happy Birthday as they ran past me (twice!). Followed this up with a swim in the lake, sauna, cake, champagne and now for the rugby. A lovely day so far!
I’ve just noticed quite how wasted my left thigh muscle is now in that photo. Jeez.
Is it mad that my brain is telling me
I look fat in this photo?
I picked up my shiver squad badge at the lake this morning. 30 winter swims from the beginning of November. I absolutely love swimming in the winter and it’s a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful community.
I don’t even like cold showers, for goodness sake. This is my third year in a row getting this badge.
