Farewell Juice, Hello Pool

I'm going to have more swim time. Sure, lots of it will be at noon, but there are worse things than a tan back as we head into Summer. (I have secured, however, a promise of four early morning swims a week even though I will no longer be going into an office right after. Phew.)

Today is my last day at Juice in the City, and it is bittersweet. I think I'll have plenty to say about that as time goes on and the lengths let my thoughts process more completely, but today was a short breast stroke day and anyone who knows me knows that none of the below were my ideal "processing sets". So, on to a long free day for more thoughts.

*warmup: 400 free, 300 free to breast, 200 free, 100 breast

*6 x 25's half length fist sprint, free to breast
*4 x 25's full length sprint, free to breast
*2 x 50's free and breast sprints
*300 easy
Repeat 3x

humm short breaststroke (or rest stroke) today in my lane, (noon!)one of us got back from a week in Hawaii, one had possibly overindulged in the AZ(his admission)for the last week, and I had high maintenance house guests for the last week. So, no better way to ease back into fitness.

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...
