Getting up this morning was SO HARD. Mondays are totally made of evil, man. I was running a couple minutes late, and then when I got into my car, I found out with was massively foggy out. My neighborhood is way out in the middle of nowhere and there aren't very many lights on the roads out there, so it was almost impossible to see more than about ten feet in front of me when I was driving. It was scary, to say the least, and I had to drive pretty slowly for about half of my commute to the pool, so I ended up in the water about five minutes late.

The workout was pretty good. Any day I get to pull that much is a good day, even if it was with paddles. My wrists are a little ticked off about it, but mostly it felt good. Reu today complemented me on my streamline coming out of turns (he's been having us work on our dolphin kicks off the wall) and told me that my stroke was "near perfect" (!!!) on my freestyle. He told both me and Lori that we've got the technique down pretty good and that as soon as we can increase our arm speed, we should be able to haul some ass. :)

Not much else to say. My right index finger is all tingly today and I think that's because I kept taking ground balls in the right (non-mitt) hand at softball practice on Saturday. I need to stop trying to catch with my bare hand. It's bad news, man.
