I’ve had a pretty good couple of days… mostly spent drinking coffee until the afternoon hours and kicking my feet up. Eventually I end up heading out to run or swim, but the lazy mornings are definitely addictive.

Yesterday, I finally went out to swim at noon. I did a pretty simple set of 4×500m, odd swim & even pull. Came home and had some lunch, then surfed the web. Rough.

My parents called me around 4pm and said they were at the Shoppes on the Parkway, and asked me to come out and meet them. I don’t really enjoy shopping, but I wanted to see them so I eventually drug myself away to go over there.

Mom and dad were eating ice cream when I got there, so we sat and talked for a while in the sun. Then mom and I hit the J Crew outlet store. I found some really cute sundresses and skirts and little shirts for summer time. Some of the stuff I got I could wear teaching, but not all of it. Shows too much skin for teaching, but I may be able to wear some of it as long as I wear a sweater or button-up shirt over it.

New wardrobe in hand, I left the shoppes and went over to Bass Lake to do a really short run to open my legs up. I was going to do an hour spin on the bike, but with the rain and all it was just easier to do a 20 minute run or so.

I had master’s swim practice again this morning. We did a distance set this morning: 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, and 100m. Except for it had an IM twist: every 4th lap of the 500m, we did butterfly… every 4th lap of the 400m was backstroke… the 300m, breaststroke… and the 200m was free the whole way. Then the 100m was an IM.

We were spose to take 30 seconds rest between each one, but I took 10 to 15 seconds and went. I’m so slow at the other strokes…. it’s pathetic!

Now I’m heading out to pick up my mountain bike from Appalachian Mountain Sports in Glen Alpine. Goinna go ride when I get back.
