Swim to Eat

Today's workout was just the kind of thing I needed to justify eating a ton of Italian food at half price (check out the deal to the right there - this place is really good and is downtown PA). So here goes:

warmup: 300 free, 200 back to breast, 100 IM, 50 stroke

add pulling gear for following descending set (all 100's strong):
200, 175, 150, 125, 100
175, 150, 125, 100
150, 125, 100
125, 100
100

remove pulling gear for following descending set (all 25's sprint free or fly):
125, 100, 75, 50, 25
100, 75, 50, 25
75, 50, 25
50, 25
25

total: 3,425 yards

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...
