Holy cow, so much mucus. I'm putting my sinuses on notice.

But I did finally get my Advair on Wednesday night. Usual pharmacy > grocery store pharmacy. Of course the Advair is off formulary, so I ended up paying about twice as much as I was expecting (my brand copay is $35 and I have to pay $60 for non-formulary), but it's a heck of a lot better than paying $205 for it, so...

Anyway, I've only been on it about 48 hours at this point, but it's already helping a little. Horray for drugs!

Tom was back again today, as was Jim (he was the one whose name I couldn't recall), and Laurie was there as well, so Dave got bumped to lane two. I was talking to Leigh Ann (who swims in lane two normally) and she said they gave him a serious workout today, hee. Meanwhile, back in lane one, Tom and Jim are both doing a heck of a job considering they've only been doing this a week. We had that 600 set and they both did a pretty good job with it (though they both revert to breaststroke when they get tired - aside: breaststroke, for me, is WAY harder than freestyle; not a break at all). Laurie and I are really at about the same speed, which is perfect for circle swimming. Plus I feel good that I've got someone to keep up with now that won't kill me like Dave was, hehe.

We lost Laurie and Tom at a quarter of seven, so Jim and I finished the set off, and then I stayed and did that 250 pull and 50 kick because I was late for the warmup and missed 50 kick / 200 drill. Plus we swim at the same time as the high school girls team, so getting into the locker room late-ish is the only way I ever get anywhere near a shower.

Blah blah blah, I'm at just over ten miles so far for 2009, which is pretty much right on track for my goal (which is 365 miles for the year). I think it's going to drop off a bit starting next week (since I don't have Saturday practice normally), but my yardage per workout should increase as I improve, so hopefully it'll even out. If nothing else I can always swim extra the last couple months of the year to make my goal. I think I can do it. :)
