Monday: Swim and Gilad

So last night, I stayed up really late with my headlamp on my head reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I also created an outfit set on Polyvore for Lispeth Salander, which is the name of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I also created an outfit set for Olive Kittridge ( if you hit the arrow on the side of Lisbeth's outfit, the Olive Kittridge outfit is next and has a girl lookin gout over a lake) and I have to say it is really satisfying.

Find me on Polyvore Anyway, Polyvore outfit sets for the characters in books that I am reading is my new delve into dorkdom, and I love it. I could not find a wasp tattoo to add to this set, because the wasp and the dragon are important as the dragon is the namesake of the book and the wasp is Lisbeth's hacker name. I am positively shuddering at my nerdiness.

This morning, Ivan and I were up in the pouring rain to get to swim. I was actually reasonably on time (by which I mean only 15 minutes late), but of course it was the day that our coach had to leave 15 minutes early for a job interview.

a) I hate to stop my workout before 10:00 AM. It just feels unfinished.

b) I do not like Stephen graduating from college or going on job interviews, as this means he is going to leave and who will coach us then???

Workout as follows:

• 50 warmup
• 4 x 75
• 4 x 50 (odds fast, evens easy)
• 4 x 25 breakout (which means: swim fast at the beginning, and slow at the end)
• 4 x 75
• 4 x 50 (odds fast, evens easy)
• 4 x 25 breakout
• 400 kick
• 3 x 200 pull

This was only 2200 meters, but a reasonably good workout. I think I will hit morning swim on Wednesday as well.

At home, I cleaned and folded and cooked before getting in a Gilad workout and way overeating for lunch. I managed to put down some serious mexican calories before I even knew what happened. It happened so fast. Dr. Perricone would CRY.

Anyway, I headed into to work and am about to curl up with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It is getting both scarier and closer to the end. I have already ordered the second book in the trilogy. The author Stieg Larrson died after completing the third manuscript. He had a massive heart attack and left all of his estate to the communist workers party. Hhhmmmm. Not quite in line with my politics I fear, but at least not a vicitim of the atrocious crimes in his book!!
