March Madness

At our house, this means my husband flies off on a plane today to spend what he, his brother and his buddy in Seattle call "The Lost Weekend" holed up in said buddy's sports bar basement watching game after game after game. This year he's in quite a pickle as his two alma maters, Cornell and Stanford, battle in the first round.

Oh, pity him and his nice kidless den in Seattle with meatball sandwiches and beers being passed around.

I, on the other hand, am at the library eeking out 2 hrs of work while I've got a sitter before I get to spend the rest of Spring Break (aka Kidsathomewithnochildcare Week) entertaining the kiddos. Could be worse. But could be better (for me, not my lucky husband).

Go STANFORD!

the workout:

*200 easy, 3 x 100's harder, 4 x 50's strong

*4 x 300's pulling
*2 x 400's pulling
*600 without pull gear!

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...
