I *heart* this shirt!


I told you all you HAD to listen to this song (Swim) a while back and if you still haven't, you must! I finally got this T-shirt from the band after having Noah badger the Jack's Mannequin singer's sister for a month. All worth the annoyance we caused her! I'm going to the concert up in Seattle in a few weeks, and I'll be wearing my SWIM tee!

As for actually swimming, this morning's workout was just too varied and hard to remember to write down. Looks like tomorrow is some long free though, whoohoo!

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...
