Friday: Swim and Pure Barre

Do you know what I am with a great sleep:  a new person, a superhero, a person with great ideas and a sweet disposition.  The crib tent worked like a charm and great sleep was had.  I have not had one cup of coffee today or really even craved one.  Ooooh, I take that back, I had a super terrible cup of gym coffee.  It was so awful, and I drank it out of habit.  It is something I do pretty much every Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday, and I have never even thought to mention it.  There is just something so family Sunday school about drinking terrible coffee out of a styrofoam cup.  I love it, almost as much as I love being well rested.  

So our swim coach no-showed today.  There was some sort of mix-up with the substitute coach, and we were on our own for practice.  It was really a pretty good workout, but we were somewhat ineffective as we spent a goodly bit of time shouting at each other what sort of decision had been made about the next set.  Workout as follows:

• 300 warmup
• 9 x 100 @ 1:45
• 8 x 50 choice with 5 seconds rest
• 10 x 25 white water kick (which means really hard fast kick) without fins
•  5 x 200 @ 3:30 pull

So this was 2800 meters and for all of our standing around and waiting for a coach and then deciding where to swim and what to swim, this was a reasonable workout.  Young Sloan was a champion of good behavior.  Well rested apparently means great things for all of us.  

At home, I placidly zipped Sloan the Younger into his bed and I did not hear him stir for two solid hours.  After a week of no napping, it was so lovely.  I got in a Pure Barre workout and a lot of internet errands.  I read half a magazine article and straightened the house.  What luxury!! 

When Ivan woke up we played a bit with the apple TV and had nice time watching some youtube snake handlers on the bike screen.  We made beet pancakes and had a casual dinner before meeting up with a friend for a quick drink.  Bed time early and run tomorrow!!
