Everyday is a Friday

 This morning I was prepared to sleep in and skip today's workout to give my achy muscles a break, but Oliver's obnoxious alarm clock woke me up at 6:30 and I got up to get his deep sleep broken up and get him up.  At that point I wasn't sleepy anymore so I figured I might as well go swim.  Here's what I did:

Warmup:

  • 200 Easy

  • 300 - 4 x 75 IMs
  • 400 Kick with fins and snorkel
Main Set:
  • 8 x 100's - 1 - 4 IM, 5 - 8 Freestyle on 2:00
  • 4 x 200's First 2 Pull, third one kick, last one IM
  • 3 x 400's Snorkel Free
  • 4 x 50's sprint!  Goal was under :35, got :32 on all of them. on 2:00
Cooldown:
  • 100 easy
4000 total

Near the end of my main sets I heard a woman a couple lanes down yell to another swimmer on the other side of me, "Hey Jeff!  It's Friday!".  It made me think.  Now that I don't work at Salesforce and I can coach which I absolutely love, everyday feels like a Friday!  That thought put a smile on my face.  I feel very blessed, even though my financial income is practically non-existant at this point.  I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have decent savings to live off, and was in debt.  Feeling very grateful!

Last night was Northridge's first swim meet. I was very pleased with how it turned out.  Every swimmer gave it there all, and out of the 27 individual swims, 17 of them were new PRs.  Outstanding!  Proud of those kids!
