New Year's Eve!

Happy last day of 2009! I've got zero New Year's Resolutions this year and that's just how I like it. But, my BFF, who comes and swims with us at Menlo whenever she's visiting, does have some. People are either goal-oriented or not, and she IS. She's an organizational inspiration to me - check her out on the JuiceBox in the featured video today!

I'm ready for the 100x100's but am probably going to do them on Saturday because 8am is too late to start for me (I know that sounds nuts to the rest of the world, yes).

Today's workout:

*3 x 100's free, 50 back, 50 choice
repeat 2x

add pull gear for:

*300, 200, 100
repeat 3x

*2 x 400's

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...
