Sunny Thursday


It's only Thursday and I've already had quite a first week of Summer. But this morning I actually got to leave the house and get chlorinated, and while it would be nice to be sitting on the beach, I'm now sitting at Printer's Ink (for shame, Borrone is SO much better as I was reminded a few minutes ago by dry eggs) waiting for my hair cut appointment, which is another type of bliss. My boys are still sick but an angel-nanny is dropping by today so that I can actually clean myself up and get to work for a few hours. Then it's back to the slow grind through another hot day while stuck inside.

Today's workout:

*warmup was some amount of 100's free (I guess 5?) followed by 5 x 50's free

add paddles for:
*5 x 300's free
odd swims fast
even swims moderate

*4 x 200's free, dropping a piece of pull gear each 200 so that last one is without gear

*600 straight (with or without paddles) done as repeating 100's:
25 three-count
25 two-count
25 one-count
25 regular

Today's workout was the best ever :)

However, the boys of Lane 2 were distracted for some reason, and we kept running into each other ;)

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...
