I am super tired so I am going to try to keep this succinct (may be hard considering how verbose I have become).
I survived yesterdays 3 workouts and even managed to make it to the pool this morning after minimum sleep (albeit 30 minutes later than usual). In order to make Thursday a little less stressful than yesterday I got my Thursday run in tonight downtown. I am hoping to catch a cat nap tomorrow between work and the master swim class which should result in me making it on time to Friday mornings swim.
Last nights Master swim class was definitely a good workout. I found myself in a position I am not often a part of in the running world. I was definitely the weak link last night and tried my best to hide it from everyone. My "runner conscience" kept questioning me during the sets though. Why are you doing this? You aren't a swimmer. Stop this nonsense now! You don't have to swim these sets as fast as everyone else! But luckily my "swimmer conscience" got the better of me and I did finish the whole workout on all of the stated send off times! (despite a charlie horse in my foot during the 100s even!)
Thats all I have the energy to post for now. More to come later!

Well done!! This is quite an impressive workout schedule!! Which Triatholon are you training for?
Keep up the great work! Your workout puts most, well, mostly mine, to shame. Inspirational!
Tuna?
toast? tuna? if that is in reference to the dinner nope he made me pasta with chicken and marinara sauce!
thansk angela.
marathena- i am training for steelhead, but will do a few sprints and maybe an olympic this spring and summer. This whoel swim camp nonsense is just because my friends doing wildflower are doing it and in order to stay on their "bad ass radar" I have to too. Really quite silly actually :)
With a title like "Quickie" I had to see what you were writing about. I was disappointed it was "just" about swimming.
zeke- there was running involved too ;)
yes, tuna was in response to the dinner .... you are swimming so much i figured that you were becoming part dolphin or shark and that a marine diet was a natural reaction to being so appreciative of a "real" dinner ..... sushi will be next ... don't be surprise if you start salivating at pictures of seals
