I had a very short workout today because I had a date with Sarah Bowman. I went shopping and bought a bunch of fruit and chips and we ate together and talked. I got to know quite a bit about her. More than I do Sarah Madsen, however I haven't spent alot of time with this Sarah so it is still a little stand offish.
But not after tonight. I really like her. We have a bit in common and I love that. She also looks for ways to be in common with me, I can sense. So she is interested in me and I am definately in her. So tomorrow at the dance, I am going to start from the beginning to hold her hand. If she accepts it willingly without hesitation I will even kiss her goodnight at the end

Today Bryan came. He is from Colorado. 40 minutes south of Denver and 1 hour north of Colorado Springs.
We both were hating it on the 200's but finished it gracefully. He is more of a freestyler than a flyer. So he adjusted his fly to free while I alternated fly and free on the 10 x 50's. At the end he did a 1:05 free and I did a 1:13 100 fly. I always die on the last 25. My 75 time was a :50. But the last 25 was dragging my arms and I was really having a tough time. I almost gave up.
He had really good times in High school. He had a 49 second 100 free once. But now he can't get a :55 probably. Not to judge him. It just goes to show how staying in shape helps in times. If he came every day to swim with me I bet he could get his 100 back down, but he only comes in every other day or so.
I guess I am a bit hypocritical in saying that cause tomorrow I am only going to swim around 1000 with Sarah (Bowman of course) after a date. But that will be the first time that I miss a workout in a long time.
Sarah Madsen dumped me for today's ballroom dance. She decided to sleep instead (so says Brenda). Her other class was canceled so she decided to sleep all day. I danced with Brenda until her partner came who was late 20 minutes. He hates the class and so does Sarah Brenda says. I fell like telling Sarah and Brenda's partner to just drop the class so Brenda and I can do it.
I am looking forward to tomorrow to get to know Sarah better. I am go ing skiing with her next Thursday too.

Tonight I went with Jadie to the Country dance thing. I had to say the opening prayer. I had alot of fun! I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed myself. From now on, I will go with anyone as long as their fun. She was pretty fun.
Called Sarah Madsen and she couldn't trade nights to Friday so I canceled. But she canceled me for Tomorrow's ballroom class. She wants to sleep all day. I will be going with a better Sarah. We are going to do something Friday to get to know each other and then go to the Valentines dance on Saturday.

OPTIONAL WORKOUT PROGRAM FOR...
GORDON R. GRIDLEY
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1994
WARM UP: -Meet at Ricks College Pool @ 6:30 p.m.
-Walk to M.C. West Ballroom for country dance
instruction.
- 30 Minutes (instructional)
WORKOUT: - Country Swing
- Two Steppin'
- Line Dancing
(In whatever order for at least 2 hours)
COOL DOWN: - Brisk walk to Dorm 3 for intense eating of
refreshments.
Note: If you choose to follow this customized "Optional Workout Program please contact (Trainer) Jadie Dalton at 356-1684.
p.s.- only if you want to.
I was hoping something like this wouldn't happen. I called her to tell her of my 8:00 class and that I could only do it until then.
She then brought up that I asked Sarah to the Formal. She asked how she answered. I didn't want to go into great detail for I felt conflict as it was so I just said that she threw some of the colored rings in the pool.
She said, "how cute, you guys will have fun." I didn't really want to talk about it and felt real awkward. I said, "well, I'll just see you tomorrow." Then there was silence on the phone for a good 5 seconds. I was sure that she was interpreting the word, "just" as something rude. I didn't want to push her away, but I was feeling really weird talking about it, when I know that she likes me and we are talking about someone I like. I don't want to break hearts, cause I know what it is like, but like I said yesterday, I don't want to feel obliged to take her on.
I am sure she was probably hurt by the way that silence hung. I said, "Thanks for the workout" but should have said more because it was really well typed. She is a total perfectionist.
I also was ticked at Sarah (Madsen) because she cancelled this Thursday's dancing class. So I called later and put her on Friday night's formal and put the cool Sarah (Bowman) on Saturday. I called the Loft to get reservations and don't need them.
So I got the tickets and am ready to party.
Went to Chris Norton's basketball game and they played the number 1 ranked team. It was the best game I have ever witnessed. They were down by 20 and came back and won by 4 points in overtime. I lost my voice from screaming so loud. My hands burnt from the clapping. I have never gotten so involved in a ball game. I felt really proud of those guys.

This is Monday. Last Friday I asked Sarah Bowman and another lifeguard girl out on a date (for a double date with Shawn). We had 4 couples. We all went roller skating, and came home for a dinner that we all guys cooked up. It was spaghetti and Salad. All over candle light. Watched Alladin and went to the dance for the last 30 minutes.
Jadie is one of the guards. She is quiet and polite. Not seemingly self confident. I didn't want to leave her out but she was the last one to get picked to dance by all the guys so I was almost "stuck" with her. Not to be rude.
Sarah was the one I wanted, but Shawn snagged her. I don't blame him. I asked her to the Valentine's dance yesterday. Her is the way I asked her.
to Sarah -
WILT the sky always stay so blue?
THOU knowest!
GO and tell the world what's true.
WITH all the rumours of chicken little -
ME, what's what is not cruel.
TO be wild with riddles -
THE scarcity of duals.
VALENTINE'S, with arrows in their heads - CUPID!
DANCE? Poems that form something quite stupid.
If yes, then the water will tell with the colourful
rings lined up on the bottom of the sea.
If no, then the reasons must be.
One lonely brick will lay there saying so.
So I came into swim at 5:00 as normal and there she was. I smiled and she smiled but there was nothing at the bottom of the pool. I was wondering if she got the letter. I put it under the door of her apartment.
When I was doing the 100's under 1:00 all of a sudden I see rings entering the water all around me with great force. Many and many of them. I was feeling awesome. I was happy at the rate of the entrance of the rings showing that she put forth care.
You see, alot of girls around here put off an attitude of laziness in socialism. They don't care and are real lethargic.
But Sarah with her pretty smile makes a world of difference. I asked her if Friday was good and went on with my workout. I'll call her Thursday and arrange the whole things with her.
I fear Jadie may be liking me in a sincere way. She came and swam in my lane for the first time. I hope I never have to break her heart. I know what it is like, but don't want to go for it, for her heart's sake.
I swam well today and almost gave up, but finished it. Changed the original order but you have what I did in order.

Clay Jensen came and the last 50 of my fly workout raced me. I can do 25 fly in 12 seconds, however, my second 25 totally sucks. I was lucky to get a :30 50 fly. I am just hoping that I sucked so bad because it was after I had just done 2450 yards fly. If I did it after just doing about 100 to warm up I would get it down.
The lifeguards two girls, asked me what my 100 fly time is. I said honestly, "I don't know, I have never done 100 fly" I was about to ask Katie out. She is blonde and tall and a little chunky. The only reason I am attracted to her is because she is so obvious in her attraction to me. She smiles every second she can and her eyes are focused on mine. That is the look I wish Sarah would give me.
This was a good workout despite my disappointment in the 50 fly.

That other guy that comes in once in a while from Colorado that is fast. His name is Bryan. I asked him if he wanted to swim together and combine workouts. He said yes. So from now on I will be swimming with him every day at 5:00 pm. I no longer care about being "the fastest" as long as I am pushed and I can push him so that both of us can improve by combining our workouts.
