COOKIES

I had a lot of them last night so, well, today was tough, especially when doing flat topped pyramids with fins. Those pyramids...they sound like a little and feel like a lot.

*warmup: 800 straight

add fins for:

*25 underwater kick, 50 fast, 75 one arm, repeat on reverse

*25 underwater kick, 50 fast, 75 one arm, 100 kick, repeat on reverse

*25 underwater kick, 50 fast, 75 one arm, repeat on reverse

Okay, there was much more, but seriously? I can't remember it all. I like those long sets like yesterday:

3x200
250
500
750
1000

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...
