Chlorine Overload
I've been to the pool 3 times since I last wrote, about...oh...24 hours ago. I don't know how swimmers do it. As a runner I ran twice a day just about every day for several years of my life. But running doesn't make you smell like a chemical plant. True, it can definitely make you smell BAD, but chemical plant? No. Ugh. ;)
This morning I got in a 4500 yd swim that included 6x600 as the main set, 2 of those 600s as pull. Ouch for my wimpy little arms! Hooray for hopefully getting stronger though!
After work I hit up the pool again for a water run before going to the weight room to lift. One thing about water running - it's definitely easier on the legs but it's harder on the arms than actual running since you have some resistance from the water. After 4500 yds this morning, pool running last night and this afternoon, lifting was a touch tough today. :)
In other news I have a recommendation for all who read. Don't ever drink battery acid. It's just not a good idea. Ask my patient who did and I think he'd tell you (if he was actually coherent) that it's just not good for the intestines. Interestingly enough, it basically dissolved most of his GI tract. Ouch. What I cannot stop wondering about though is -- where does one get battery acid? I mean obviously from a battery BUT doesn't it take some work to get the acid out? I mean if you're trying to end it all wouldn't you go for something easier like Draino? (by the way - also had a patient that drank Draino and it resulted in the same thing)
