That last set was fun. I've never seen Elayna swim so fast! I got the first two and the fifth and sixth set and she got the rest. Tied up 4 to 4. I was still sore after lifting chest yesterday. But I pumped them out anyways with a little more difficulty than I thought I would.

I had my ingrown toenails taken out on Friday and they were a little sore this morning on the kick set. I had a big paper due this weekend as well as home teaching and an Elder's Quorum lesson so it was kind of stressful, but looking forward to this weekend where I can relax a little. Body feeling good, except for the big toes. But it wasn't too bad considering. Eric had his entire toe nails taken out on Thursday. If he has any more kids they may have webbed feet.

My Right arm was hurting. I think I overdid lifting yesterday. Lifted Bis and Tris with Brendon and really put on the weight. Not lifting today and eating jerky as an attempt to get some protein in there to repair the damage.

Tomorrow Elayna doesn't have to work, so we are going to attempt a 3000 yard workout. Elayna is coming up with the workout. Today I wasn't as sore and felt much better. I left my suit here from yesterday. I noticed it was hanging up right where I left it. I need to be more careful! Good workout today.

Today was difficult energywise as well as soreness. I lifted pretty dang hard with Brendon on Monday and also played Racquetball hard yesterday. Pretty sore and stiff. Stretching out helped a little, but energy level was low. Swimming was slow today. Busy as well. Every lane had at least two people in it for about a half hour. The Pool Director, Doyle has said it has never been this busy. Great, I come to a pool to get away from the crowd and they follow me!

I bought a new van this last week so I haven't been in the mood for swimming much. We went to the cabin this weekend with the kids and we had alot of fun. The pool at Northwest last Thursday was too busy for me to even get in, so I worked a deal out with Connie at Northwest where I can swim at Steiner West as if I were at Northwest. I should be getting a new pass tomorrow. Steiner's pool is so much better. The water is cooler, the lanes are wider, the people swim faster there and it is probably just as fast to get there as Northwest. Tomorrow my goal is to get back up to 1800 or 2000.

Busy pool today. I played raquetball yesterday at the Redwood Center with Dad and Eric. When I got home I couldn't find my wallet and realized that I must have dropped it on the way to my car. I called the Redwood Center and it hadn't been turned in. This morning after my workout I realized with the sun just coming up maybe noone saw it so I drove out there. It was there on the grass just as I suspected. What a blessing and an answer to a desperate prayer. I didn't have any money in it, just didn't want the hassle of getting replacement cards. Today's workout was pretty good. Didn't really push it too much though.

I couldn't find my palm pilot yesterday before leaving, so I was so late that I just went to work instead of swimming. But today I was good. I won't be swimming tomorrow either because of taking off work. I'm going to Pocatello to Morgan's Wedding reception with Mom, Cara and Josh. Should be fun.

Very crowded again. Only four lane pool with 8 people and old folks with no idea of what circle swimming is. Its a pain worrying about getting out of the way instead of just swimming. Elayna and I had a discussion about depression. Neither of us can really relate.
