Wrap Up



It's been too long since I posted, but it's never a bad time to post the fun Oscar pics from a week or so ago. For years (here's the 2007 post from way back when!), my BFFs and I have been dressing up and getting silly, and it just doesn't get old. Wish I could say more and postulate about the years upcoming, but I'm just too darn busy to write much right now (boo). However, good things are coming from JuiceBoxJungle, and they are local fun things, so stay tuned.

Today's workout:

*warmup: 300 free, 100 kick, 300 free to stroke
*6 x 150's pulling
*6 x 50's kick (no fins)
*4 x 300's free at threshold
*feel like i'm forgetting something but...

Oxygen Depletion

I hate fins. Why, as a soccer player, I can't kick or use my legs in the pool, I don't know. But I can't kick. I seem to go backwards when no fins are on my feet, and I feel like my lungs are going to explode when I do use fins. Go figure. Today I'm also losing my left big toenail, which is always a fun sensation while finning. *warm up: 300 free, 200 back to breast, 100 kick, 50 strong add fins for: *3 x 50's free on TIGHT interval (35 s) 150 recovery *3 x 100's free on TIGHT interval (1:10) 150 recovery *3 x 150's on TIGHT interval 150 recovery *3 x 200's on TIGHT interval remove fins for: *150 easy *2 x 50's hard repeat 2x

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.

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
