Finally...

I was able to drag my butt out of bed this morning to my masters swim group. I had to cut it a little short b/c I had to make up some time at work that I missed yesterday due to heating problems at my house (more on that later). Here was what today consisted of

Warm-Up: 300m
Drills: 200m (fingertip, over rotate, single arm (l&r), fist)
Pulls: 6x50 on 1:20 descending 1-6 (get faster with each 50)
Main Set: 6x__ (these sucked)
-Odd on 2:15 for 600 (6x100)
-Even on 1:45 for 450 (6x75)
Cool Down: 100m

Total: 1950m

I missed 500m of kicks and breathing exercises.

I have a core workout “scheduled” for tonight, but I might not be able to get to it. I’ve been working on getting a good training plan put together. My goal is to finish it this weekend so that I can get going on Monday.

Now for a rant…every change of season means we have to call our Heating & Cooling guys to come and put a Band-Aid on our system. They are so quick to tell you some kind of crap-reason, which I inevitably fall for, as to why it is doing or not doing certain things. Hopefully, this wire is what has caused most of the problems in the past. Oh well, I guess that is what warranties are for huh? Anyone looking to start up a Heating & Cooling company let me know. I’ll go in on it with you; we will make a killing.

A little more off topic…I know that everyone has those days where a song will get stuck in your head. Sometimes it’s the last song you hear before you get out of the car, before you go to bed, or for others, it is the first song you hear in the morning. For a select few (me included), a chain of events can send your mind wandering down a rabbit hole and eventually to a vague song that is catchy yet annoying as hell. I’m not even sure what led me to start singing this song in my head. Everyone knows the blockbuster hit movie The Addam’s Family. It was so good that they even made a sequel. I’m not sure which movie one it came from, but MC Hammer did a song that is just awful called “The Addam’s Family Groove” (available on iTunes & youtube for your listening and viewing pleasure). I’m sure Hammer was thinking that this would be the song to propel him back to stardom along with “2 Legit 2 Quit,” but it is probably one of the stupidest songs ever. Right up there with the song from the Zeigler commercial (I’m sure you can find it on you tube. CAUTION: THIS SONG WILL GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD, JUST ASK MH).

Sorry for the randomness of today’s post. I think I have a case of AD… hey look a bird? Happy Friday!
