The world is getting so small

That's really cool!

I am extremely sore today from a barefoot water ski race I was in yesterday. We had a team of 5, and we had to go 38 miles barefoot waterskiing. Unfortunately I didn't have a good race and I probably only did 5-6 miles myself (last year I estimate I did 10-11 miles), but the bottoms of my feet are sore. Also (this is going to sound wierd) my butt is a little sore because they way we start is we drag on our butt until we get up to ~40mph and then stand up. So it pains me to sit and to stand haha.

But to help with that, I have been cleaning the house most of the evening and listening to Libera

Wow you're brave! Hope your feet...and butt...get better quickly

I'm trying to visualise this in my mind Still, look on the bright side, both your feet and your butt will be squeaky clean after being blasted with water for 6 miles

I think I could use some of that treatment on my feet, as they get quite dry and sore from 5 miles of walking each day to and from work.

Ether that of a fish pedicure.

To give you an idea of what we do, here is a video showing the start to barefoot waterskiing. This video shows a person on a boom (the metal pole which is a good tool to learn with). During the race, we were about 90 feet behind the boat in rough water so you can imagine why it hurts after a while lol. I did probably 10-12 of these starts during the race.

wow, that's quite refreshing
I think it might hurt a bit if it pulls you over- I mean when you fall forward. Maybe I'm wrong but this is what happened when I tried to learn water-skiing

Looking forward to choir practice again tomorrow, the first time since all the choirs took a break for summer!
And - I am on a mission to get my choir director and other choir members convinced that we should add this hymn to our repertoire

Good luck Szepilona! Maybe listen to some Libera before you go, to get you in a positive mood
Just be yourself, trust that you can bring something valuable to the table
