Naked Fans and Running against Depression


It's always fun to find out you have a blogfan while standing naked in the shower. This morning a fellow swimmer whom I've never met leaned around the stall and asked if I was Sarah-of-Waterblogged, and told me she reads and enjoys this spot.

Hot shower on tired shoulders, primed to grab my Borrone Americano, and finding out I have a fan. Can't get better than that if you ask me. Especially after this workout (I'm posting Thursday's workout as well because it was just SO good).

ALSO, if anyone is up for a last minute run workout for a cause tomorrow (Sunday at 10AM, a very civilized time), DO sign up for the Jenny's Light 5K in Los Gatos. As I've written about before, postpartum depression is a highly worthy cause and all of us who have had any experience with it thank you for coming out!

Today:

*warmup: 5 x 200's free
add fins for:
*5 x 250's (odd free to back by 50's; even free to kick by 50's)
remove fins and add paddles for:
*6 x 300's free (even ones fast)

Thursday:

*warmup: 500 free
*7 x 500's free. yup. pure and goooooood.

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...
