Face Painting

Okay people, Tim has sufficiently pumped us all up for the Blue v. Gold meet tomorrow morning...and I think I will have my kids paint their faces blue for support of MY team. Kidding. But I think Tim should paint his face half blue and half gold just so we can be sure he's unbiased and isn't unfairly helping Gold (after all, Sheeper begins with S).

As always with these meets, I'm already nervous I won't get enough of a workout, so I'll be there at 6 to do my normal thang. Also I have to leave by 7:30 because I have a hair hilight appointment. Priorities. I'm hoping I can help Blue out enough in those 45 minutes to earn my keep.

Go Blue!

Today's general workout:

*warmup: some free, some back (i was late)

*75 free, slow medium fast by 25; 50 stroke with last 12 yds fast; 25 kick with first 12 yds fast
repeat 4 times
*50 stroke with last 12 yds fast; 25 kick with first 12 yds fast
repeat 4 times
*25 kick with first 12 yds fast
repeat 4 times

add fins for:
*200 kick, 200 free, 200 lowest stroke count possible

*separate into Blue v. Gold and race sprints

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...
