Kayaking

I have not been kayaking after work lately.  I have felt guilty about not getting the exercise.  The place I go after work is in the city limits, but the water is very nasty.  So, when I go kayaking at Lake 6 or Dunbar Historical Lake http://www.playlubbock.com/outdoor/fishBoatING.aspx there is not much shade in the evening, and the water is too polluted to bathe in it.  

Yesterday, I went kayaking in the morning, leaving the house about 8 AM.  By the time I was done kayaking, it was too hot to be out in the sun, especially because the water is to unsafe for bathing and cooling off.  Today, I went kayaking,but did not leave the house until 9 AM. I did okay while kayaking, but when there was no breeze on the water, it was much too warm to be out there, especially because the water is too nasty to get out of the kayak and into the water to cool off.

I have felt almost guilty that I was not getting exercise by kayaking after work, but today, I confirmed that my decision not to go kayaking after work, because of the heat was the best decision to make.
