Monday morning: sore all over from first co-ed soccer game of the season yesterday, sleepless from a 3AM bed wetting accident (my son's not mine), and THEN a workout full of fin kicking.

This morning's workout was one of those I just love. Drafting and long yards. Yay! Speaking of things I love: books. Bill Dawson just passed along another MM book list to me and I'm sharing it here. This one is Mark Simon's and here are his favorite reads! Lonesome Dove – Larry McMurtry The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald Hardball – The Way the Game of Politics is Really Played – Chris Matthews Mornings on Horseback – David McCullough The Maltese Falcon – Dashiell Hammett And now, the workout: *warmup with 500 easy, 300 swim to drill, 100 "crisp" (thanks to my lane mate for mentioning Krispy Kremes right at that moment so that for the ENTIRE workout I was thinking about donuts). *600 drafting and changing leaders by 200 *900 drafting and changing leaders by 150 *1200 drafting and changing leaders by 100
