Liquid study (not pool water)

My oldest kid turned 7 yesterday, and we decided to revisit Chevy's for a bday dinner. We'd gone there when he turned 4 and done a few classic poses, so we decided to re-enact the whole experience three years later. Here are the results. Clearly he's a much more mature margarita sipper these days.





and the post-margarita weekend workout was:

*warmup: 600 free, 3 x 100's IM

*drill 100, kick 50 free
*drill 100, kick 50 back
*drill 100, kick 50 breast
*drill 100, kick 50 fly

*4 x 50's fast followed by 100 easy
*3 x 50's fast followed by 100 easy
*2 x 50's fast followed by 100 easy
*1 x 50 fast followed by 100 easy

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...
