Lots of Laps
I would like to give out a loud and glorious Barb-style WOO-HOO! I am so happy to report that my final paper AND presentation are complete. And just in the nick of time. Both are due in class tonight. Not my best work ever, but as O likes to say - it is what it is. On the positive side of things, my presentation should go smoothly as everything I wrote about is very fresh in my mind. One plus to waiting to the last minute. :) Regardless, after class tonight I will only have one more class (and one take home final) and then it's allllllllll summer off until August. I feel like a high school student all over again as the school year is ending!
This morning I headed to the pool for a lot of laps.
400 yd easy, 200 yd kick easy, 200 yd easy
2x400 on 7:30
2x300 on 5:30
2x200 on 4
4x100 on 2
4x50 on 1
300 yd kick easy
And that workout kicked my butt. The 100s were the hardest because I was pretty fatigued by the time I got there. I am getting stronger in the pool though. I was around 1:35/100 yd on the 400s and 300s, 1:32/100 yd on the 200s, 1:30s on the 100s and whatever was left for the 50s. That is an improvement by far. When I first started and all-out 100 was 1:37 and that was about all I could muster! :) Anyway, the workout was 3500 yds total with 2400 yds hard.
The weather - OH THE WEATHER - around here! I don't know how to describe! It's so beautiful outside. Since I have my project for class done and class isn't until 5:30 tonight, I may just go sit outside all afternoon and get all the sun I can. Roxy would probably like to join me. :) And my tulips have bloomed! Something I planted actually bloomed! Life doesn't get much better than that. :) Alas, it's back to work tomorrow, but I've thoroughly enjoyed my mini-vacation over the past week. I highly recommend a vacation at home. You get a lot done, you get a lot of sleep and you feel very rested and relaxed when it's all through.
Hope everyone has a great day!
