Monday: Swim and Gilad

Confession: I finished the Girl Scout Cookies before noon today.  It is over now, there is no more damage that can be done, and I can think about other things.  I have to move on.  I also had a little pop-tart meltdown and it turned out to be a rather bad day in terms of my consumption now that I think about it.  I bought fancy organic pomegranete pop-tarts, and as of today, I have officially eaten ALL OF THEM.  Young Sloan refuses pop-tarts and there was no other option but for his mother to ingest them before swim, on top of her smoothie.  Also, I was pretty immersed in my Fall of Giants last night and I stayed up a bit late, which did not help my morning even remotely.  Very bleary and far too much food.

Did I cramp up a bit in the pool and decide that this is definitely the reason that children are asked to wait 30 minutes before swimming after they eat?  For sure. I was very concerned that good old Steven was going to have to use his rusty life-guarding skills to to dredge me out of the pool.  Steven had a hard workout for us, and it ended up being about 2900 meters for me. Workout as follows:

• 12 x 25 @ :30
• 6 x 50 @ 1:00
• 5 x 100 @ 1:45
• 3 x 50 kick
• 1 x 200 
• 3 x 50 kick
• 1 x 200
• 3 x 50 kick
• 1 x 200
• 4 x 25 IM order @:30
• 1 x 100 IM
• 4 x 25 IM order
• 1 x 200 IM
• 3 x 200 swim

It was a good swim, though I was slower, but then I am DIALING IT DOWN, so no big thing.

At home, I worked about the house and for penance in regard to my morning fare, I had a spinach salad with turkey for dinner and I am hoping all will be well tomorrow!!  Gilad in the afternoon!!

Speed Session at 6:00 AM.
