Locker Room Koi Fish


Ah, I call myself a brave woman for posting this puffy eyed photo of myself, but here it is. SOoooooo fun to have my BFF here to spend the night and swim in the morning, and of course we have matching suits ;-).

As I was jumping into the pool someone on deck asked me "Hey do you require all your friends to have cute suits?"
Answer: "No, it is not required. But it is strongly encouraged."

*warmup: 4 x 150s, 4 x 75s
*4x100, 50, 2 x 25s
*3x100, 50, 2 x 25s
*2x100, 50, 2 x 25s
*1x100, 50, 2 x 25s

so many little teeny tiny swims I can't remember the rest!

Is that 4 times (100, 50, 2x25) etc OR 4 100s, then a 50, then two 25s? Sorry to bug you, but I steal your workouts all the time and I want to get this one right! Swim on.

You look way more awake at 5:30 AM than I ever do. I have that suit too, and it's my favorite.

Wow. Okay first of all I always go by the assumption that no one reads this blog so this is very exciting to get three comments in one day.

Okay AM, YES I left out the butterfly portion because I'm just too undetail-oriented to mention it, but for David (whooohoooo someone is taking these workouts, yay!) I'll try to be more detailed (David it was 4 x 100s then 1 x 50, then 2 x 25's, not 4 x the whole thing). It was indeed a lot harder and longer than I am representing it as, but seriously I wasn't concentrating :)

MM - dude, I just checked out your blog and I love it (and covet your life!). Glad to find you! And your profile pic is awesome!

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...
