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 ;)

PURE

The workout email said 3 x 1000's PURE for today and yes it was! Last night I read the short story "Swimming" in the recent New Yorker and this morning it came back to me. As T Cooper wrote, "You know that feeling (while swimming)...where you're pushing so hard that you understand how a body could just as easily die as live, that living is just the absence of death, and thus always in a relationship with death?" Yes, I know that feeling. All of us do, even if we haven't expressed it so eloquently. At those moments I tend to think about someone or something that has truly pissed me off recently, and I work out the anger. I imagine very inappropriate scenes where we (myself and that offending person) are in a group and they chance to say something slightly off-color. I rip into them and teach them a lesson about ignorance or bigotry or just plain pettiness, and they understand how base they have been. Okay, sometimes I also swimdream about the perfect par...
