I could NEVER do that!
Henry Ford said “If you say you can or your can’t you’re right.”
As a guest on the I Could Never Do That podcast, I had the opportunity to share my story about my epic ice swim along with some REAL talk about diet culture, fueling for endurance sports and my journey as an athlete in a larger body.
I even share why and how I ditched my wetsuit to swim outside all year long in the Boston area.

Would you do this?
Have you ever considered doing a polar plunge – running into the winter ocean with nothing but a swimsuit? I remember a time when I thought that was the craziest thing you could do in the water. I’ve been a swimmer my entire life and I love the open water, but never considered jumping into freezing cold water. Well, you know what they say…never say never.
