Um, yeah. I got to work and drank some nuclear coffee and currently feel like tossing my cookies, so this is probably going to be short.

Swim was okay. I liked the main set today. Drill day is always my favorite, especially when there's that much pulling. Plus drills break things up, and when my brain is more involved the swim usually goes faster. Just swimming long sets I get that whole, 'okay, 300 more to go, god my arms hurt, I can't breathe, gonna die, 250 more, I can't wait for this to be over' thing going and it makes swimming feel like a chore.

Lori and I shared lane two today since we were lower in numbers. Erin (she's been swimming with us for about two weeks) was in lane one with a new guy whose name I didn't catch who apparently could swim pretty fast, but was really slow on drills. The girls' high school swimming season is over now (hallelujah), and the boys' has started, with it a lot of yelling by their coach. I'm glad I don't swim for them, or I'd probably cry daily. I'm just happy to have my quiet locker room back. Heh.

Blah blah blah, I really wish I had some kind of bread product to soak up the evil in my stomach. I don't think my banana is going to make me feel better. Urg.
