Working out more room for The Love


As Valentine's Day approaches it's nice to get all that negative juice out of the bod and into the pool gutters. Sure Valentine's Day is a Hallmark cheeseball holiday, but I still expect to receive and give out grand portions of love and cookies on that day, and a bit of jewelry on my pillow is very nice too. Still, if that sparkley gem does not arrive, I'll fall into bed with happy muscles thanks to workouts like these:

*warm up: 7 x 100's free

*3 x 200's free on tight interval followed by 8 x 25's kick to 3rd line then stroke
Repeat

*2 x 300's free on tight interval followed by 4 x 25's in IM order
Repeat

*Eat warm muffin from Borrone and be happy

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...
