Monday: Swim, Gilad and Run

This morning, I managed to drag myself out of my Easter candy coma at a reasonable hour. I had a cup of strong green tea and a cup of coffee and my smoothie, before Ivan roused himself. Now, something I will say about waking up the morning after a difficult day with your child, if you can have a few moments of quiet with a cup of coffee to remind yourself that you do indeed love your child, life looks infinitely better.

When Ivan did wake up, he was totally pleasant and seemed very pleased to be going to the gym nursery. I missed the first set of swim, but the rest of the workout is as follows:

• 100 warm-up
• 3 x 100 swim @ 1:40
• 8 x 25 swim
• 3 x 100 IM
• 8 x 25
• 3 x 200 swim
• 8 x 50 IM drill
• 3 x 200 IM
• 4 x 50 swim
• 4 x 100 kick

So, I am pretty pleased about this yardage, and the IM's made for a pretty hardcore workout. No joke, I was heaving at the end of the fly portion of the 200 IM's.

At home, I got in a Gilad workout, a run and the rest of the Easter treats. I mean seriously, have I NO SHAME, that I have to binge like I had been on some lenten fast? I did not even give up anything for lent this year.

Also, Ivan has recently begun enjoying The Cat in the Hat, and I most relate to the fish. My favorite thing that the fish says is ..."Do I like this? Oh, no! I do not." I find myself saying this often, and I am already saying this in anticipation of my track workout tomorrow.
