I have a cookie problem



One of these is not the issue. But when you over-frost thick, fresh sugar cookies and eat six of them, you are not in prime shape for the long pulling workout the next morning. I am honestly not sure how people who don't swim get through the holidays. If I didn't swim this off this morning I'd still be feeling like I might explode.

Today begins the official school holiday (read: full time mom duty) and last night, as you can see, began the official sugar indulgence period. If I keep going like this I'm going to need to attend BOTH 75x100's sessions.

*warmup: 125 free, 50 stroke, 25 kick
repeat 3x

add pull gear for:

*400 as 6 free, 2 stroke
repeat 2x
*100 fast
*500 as 8 free, 2 stroke
repeat 2x
*100 fast
*600 as 8 free, 2 stroke
repeat 2x
*100 fast

*1,000 straight done as: 250 moderate, 50 fast, 200 moderate, 50 fast, 150 moderate, 50 fast, 100 moderate, 50 fast, 50 moderate, 50 fast

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...
