Monday: Swim and Gilad

Re-entry into the real world after a vacation is never easy, but I always think it best to hop back on the horse and pursue the routine.  For this reason, I was up and at'em relatively early.  I had a whole cup of tea by myself while checking my email.  It was nice.  When Ivan roused himself, we headed off to swim.

Now, it was nice to get into a temperature regulated pool this morning.  To be honest, this weekend was pretty "Bear Grylls" for a girl who hasn't left the house overnight without hot rollers since high school.  Like I said, I think I am all over swimming Big Shoulders again next year, but it was nice to hop into a nice clean pool today and swim without two foot swells and drifting buoys.  It was relaxing even.  Workout as follows:

• 100 warmup
• 8 x 50 swim
• 4 x 100 IM
• 500 swim
• 8 x 75 pull
• 8 x 25 (half fast/ half easy)
• 400 swim
• 8 x 75 kick

This was 3200 meters, and it was a great swim.  At home, I got in a Gilad workout and began putting our kitchen back together after our most recent painting project.  

In other news, Ivan learned to ride his tricycle this weekend.  It was pretty exciting.
