Rain Rain Stay Until Tomorrow

I'm a fan of swimming in the rain, but this morning somehow I slept right through my alarm and didn't get to swim during the storm. I plan to tomorrow morning, so I'm hoping it keeps thrumming down, but in the meantime, we had two great workouts yesterday and the day before that I want to make sure to get down (at least as much as I can remember of them):

Sunday
*warmup: 150 free, 50 quick
repeat 4x

add pull gear for (odd swims fast, even moderate):
*400, 300, 200, 100
300, 200, 100
200, 100
100

remove pull gear for:
2 x 500's done as 25, 25, 50, 50, 75, 75, 100, 100 with first one easy second one fast

Monday
*warmup: 250 free, 200 IM, 150 free, 100 kick, 50 free

*4 x 100's IM with floating 25 kick and a descend 1-4
*4 x 100's free with floating 25 kick and a descend 1-4

*4 x 25's kick in IM order, 100 IM, 4 x 25's kick free, 100 free
repeat twice

*I know there was more but it escapes me

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...
