i wish the problem was that i just haven't been blogging. but we haven't been working out. i don't think i've been to the pool in a month. it's that silly season, with the dance recital, plus we're trying to get something going for cold render. but if we were really that dedicated, arnaud and i would both be at the pool. or, if i were really that serious about it. it's a lot harder now than it was in high school.
so we'll see how it goes.
Joe Bakel was at the pool this morning, and it was great to be able to watch him underwater. He's pretty quick, but I didn't see any long distance black voodoo magic, it just looked like a good efficient freestyle. I think I'll start showing up for some of the master's practices so I can pick his brain.

3500 just barely.
a bunch of 500s. i'm slow again. need to do some research on O2 and muscle building.
arnaud's shoulder was really bugging him, but i think he'll be back. he's really motivated to get in shape, and it'll be good for both of us.
ARNAUD!!!
we met at the pool at 630 this morning and swam. kind of like the olden days way back in the way back. it's pretty cool to FINALLY be doing some of the things we've been talking about all this time. we're going to try for 2x per week until feb, then i'm going to do 3, and really start building base again for the 10K. it'll be good to have someone else along (or at least beside) for the ride.

today was the first day i used the ipod too. it was pretty awesome having tunes in the water, but it'll take a while to get used to where it needs to go on my head and all.
