Monday: Swim and Gilad

Aaaah Mondays.  It is as usual that Ivan and I did not quite have ourselves together to get to the pool on time.  We woke up quite on time, and I am not sure how it was that we managed to be late, but it seems to be our story.  At the pool, Jamie was also late and we got in the pool and worked diligently on the workout, stayed on interval and got in 3200 meters in an hour.  Am rather determined to get to the pool on time on Wednesday so that I could possibly get in the whole workout and them some.  Today workout as follows:

• 500 swim
• 8 x 50 IM
• 8 x 25 breakout
• 4 x 100 @ 2:00
• 3 x 100 @ 1:50
• 2 x 100 @ 1:40
• 2 x 100 @ 1:35
• 4 x 75 kick/drill/swim
• 4 x 75 fly/back/breast
• 300 kick
• 8 x 25 breakout
• 100 kick

After swim, Ivan and I hurried home to lunch and his nap.  I got in a Gilad workout, before performing all sorts of menialness around the house.  I did manage to swallow my hoard of vitamins and make my beet juice smoothie.  

Also, it appears that I am currently training without a race.  This hasn't happened in a while, and I really do like to have some little event to look forward to.  It seems like a race keeps you sharp and motivated to keep trying and training, and it always seems to move in a cycle.  The event is fun and then you enjoy your couple of weeks without obligation and then there is the scratching about for your next event, because everything seems sort of dull without something on the horizon.  Hmmm, off to scour tri-find.

Am currently watching Bright Star, which is a Jane Campion masterpiece.  It has the coloring of The Duelists, and is much less complicated than The Piano.  I love Jane Campion.
