Busy

Things are fun and sunny and busier than I could have ever imagined. The kids and I have taken up skateboarding (my new board should arrive tomorrow just in time for more rain, booooo!), we have soccer and baseball (at least 4 games per weekend), allergy shots 2x a week, my company's launch quickly approaching (day after Mother's Day), my son's birthday, Mother's Day, school winding down (lots of "parent participation" activities going on there...not so pleased about watching the wedding of "Q" and "U" at my son's Kindergarten class this week, wtf???), and of course the upcoming family wedding that all 4 of us are in and requires two trips back east in the next 8 weeks. Phew!!!!!!!!!!! Swimming's a breeze, I tell ya.

*warmup: 300 free, 3x100's stroke to free, 3x50's kick

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. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. 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
