4000 yards for 4000 calories



Well, today was as sweet as Tim promised. I was sure he'd mix up the 10 x 400's and do some sort of fin and pull gear options, along with drills and such. But no. Thankfully he simply said "All 400's today. Have a go." And I did.

For lunch I'll have a go at a large burrito and my beloved original Coke. My favorite meal to follow my favorite workout. A perfect last swim day before my two week beach vacation. Here's the pool I'll be swimming in for the next 14 days. It's pretty, just on the edge of the marsh in the warm South Carolina low country, but I'll be lonely. Honest.

Check out the May 18th issue of Palo Alto weekly. Your lane mate Mitchell Johnson is on the cover.

There is a very nice article about him and the work he does with paint and canvas.

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well. I never saw her outside of Burgess, and I consider her a teammate and acquaintance, more than a dear friend. That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. I wondered what I would say to her and around her. I wondered if she'd even care to see me. And I almost didn't go. I will forever be glad that I went. And I encourage every one...
