Here's where I'm swimming


I'm enjoying a weekend at a sweet hotel/fitness spa by myself in Walnut Creek. Why in Walnut Creek? Because my mom and step-dad live here and they can watch my kids. Why alone? Because my hubby is in Vegas launching his company. Is it bliss to be sleeping in, swimming, eating sushi and shopping by myself? Yes.

My kids will arrive in an hour or so to enjoy the hotel/fitness area with me for a night. They looooooove hotels so this is exciting. The pool area has two kids pools in addition to a lap pool and hot tub, and there is also a childcare center which I'll utilize tomorrow morning while I grab a swim. I think I'll switch it up tomorrow. Here's what I swam today:

*500 free
*5 x 100 IM on the 1:45

*200 free
*4 x 50 back/free
*200 free
*4 x 50 back/free
*200 free

*400, 300, 200, 100 free

jumped in hot tub :)

I thought I entered this earlier.. I grew up in the east bay and still have family there. Is that a new hotel? I haven't heard of one like that.

Butter My Buoy?

I know it's going to be a good day when the morning opens with one of my muscled male teammates (fully clothed of course) opening his parka to me for warmth while listening to the warm up set. (Apparently he hadn't heard about this damning blog yet :). Things just got better (if that's possible) from there. The fact that the main set was done with paddles didn't lessen my excitement when I heard Tim say "Eight 300's." Whooohoooo! Freestyle junkie heaven. Little did I know this uber set would also be a chance for me to improve my swim-cabulary. After the first 300, Emmit (correct my spelling if need be) popped up during the rest period and said, "Okay. Someone buttered my buoy". Fabulous. I don't know if Emmit made this term up or if I've just been unfortunate enough thus far in my career not to hear it, but I love it. I immediately knew exactly what he meant. This whole buoy buttering is exactly why I never, ever, use a buoy. It drives me...
