Still Hanging On

Last night I cut half of my big toenail off from the right side. I was playing touch football with the boys and finally had HAD it with one too many stomps on my flappable stump so I grabbed the toenail clipper and surgically removed the portions that were not attached to skin. This morning I still Scotch taped it down but there was much less resistance in the water, I could tell. Good. That update is over.

Today's workout:

*warm up: 2 x 250, 2 x 150 free

add pull gear for:

*50 easy, 100 moderate, 150 hard
*75 moderate, 150 hard, 225 hard
*100 hard, 200 hard, 300 hard

pull option (not for me!):

*4 x 200's: build by 50 (1st one with first 50 hard, 2nd with first 100 hard, and so on)

*4 x 100's: build by 25

If you were a guy (and we are all glad you are not), you would know to use Duct tape for all of your "stick stuff together" needs ;)

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...
