Wednesday: Swim and Gilad

Oh yes, sports fans.  I, Betsy Sloan, was not only on time to swim, but I completed the workout with time to spare.  I swam 4000 meters, and it seemed like a great personal triumph.  It is just so nice that Sloan the Younger has stopped tantruming, and we can leave the house without inciting a war of misery.  We waltzed into the gym nursery like it was no big thing.  It took me about 1.5 minutes to give kisses and sign the nursery roster compared to the usual 20 minutes of wailing.  I skipped out with a light heart to hit the pool.

Stephen, who is getting pushy about our workouts by the way, gave us a 300 butterfly set which was really hard.  Workout as follows:

• 200 swim
• 200 kick
• 200 IM
• 200 pull
• 5 x 25 butterfly @ :30
• 2 x 50 butterfly @ 1:00
• 1 x 75 butterfly swim
• 5 x 25 back @ :30
• 2 x 50 back @ 1:00
• 1 x 75 back @ swim
• 5 x 25 swim @ :30
• 2 x 50 swim @ 1:00
• 1 x 75 swim
• 200 swim @ 3:30
• 400 pull @ 6:20
• 100 swim @ 1:50
• 400 pull @ 3:30
• 50 swim @ 1:00
• 100 easy
• 200 kick with 30 seconds rest
• 200 kick with 30 seconds rest
• 200 kick with 30 seconds rest
• 100 warm down

So, an intense workout and the 300 butterfly set was KILLER, but I gimped my way through it!!  Got in a Gilad workout at home, did some cooking, settled in and pulled out the needlepoint!!
