Great workout this morning and glad to have you back Tim. This "wind" and "cold" we have here this week must seem mild to you after braving the Boston Nor'easter but for uber weather wimps like me, it's effing freezing.

This is the end of April which is almost May which means summer is around the corner for F's sake. Could we get some warmth? At least the pool was it's reassuring 80 degree self (which of course is still not warm enough for me). I'm currently huddled over my coffee in a heated office with my Army jacket on. What would become of me if I ever left California to live in a colder climate? Oh what's the point in asking that question: I'm not going anywhere. Ever.

This morning:

*300, 200, 100 free

*8 x 100 kick with fins (done as 4 x 100 repeated twice)
1: back dolphin kick
2: side flutter
3: mostly underwater
4: sprint kick
repeat

*5 (yes FIVE) x 300 free descending by 3 seconds each time

*600 straight with paddles (first 100 DPS, second 100 moderate, third 100 faster, REPEAT for the 600 Yards)

Hi Anne,
Thanks! I'd love to get info up about my lane mates AND other lane-folk. But, I only see ONE reply to my "tell me about yourself" post from yesterday :). Regardless I'll be accepting any info I can about anyone! Let's start with you. Tell me your story. When did you start swimming??

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...
