Saying goodbye

This was a sad weekend. My dad's dog of14 years had to get put down. She had stage 4-5 lymphoma. My dad didn't tell anybody that he was taking her to the vet and we all knew she had lymphoma, it just wasn't confirmed. None of us (mom,me,sister) got to say goodbye. I wasn't ready or prepared to say goodbye. Sweet, sweet Kia. You were a good friend and you will be missed. Very missed.

Feeling a little unfit. This week wasn't all that hard but I sure was tired. Regardless i felt like it was a good solid focused week of getting the workouts in.

Schedule I have a meeting on Thursday. I missed it last month so better go this time. Not sure about work. Probably not much on the agenda until at least late next/t week.

Wed-got up in the am and rode the rollers. Rode pretty hard. Broke a good sweat (in the garage,it was cold out there). Went to masters swim in the pm. Breathed 2/3 most of the time. Even had some stroke maker paddles that I used a bit. Got in 3400. Was pretty tired this pm. This was kind of a big day compared to what I have been doing.

Thursday - ran on the treadmill for ~ 50 minutes. Legs didn't want to turn over too quick. Seems harder to run fast on the treadmill. Did your gift workout after. Good hard workout. My back was tired the next day.

Friday-tired this day. Yawning big at work. Did I mention I stayed up late sitting in Marta's hottub and drinking some wine. Came home after work and rode the rollers. Nothing special just got the workout in.

Saturday- Erik's brother stayed with us after the football game. He and his friend stayed up late and woke up early. It was also pretty cold and really gray outside. Finally got motivated and did the run outside. Swam right after. The swim was harder than I thought. It looked fine, but the key word there was continuous. I haven't swam that far continuous in a while. Good focused workout though. Felt it was good for my swim.  Question-using fins when I start to get tired and lose the form I am trying to get or have? I have zoomers. A good swimmer suggested it. Thought I should get your input.

Sunday funday- masters- I think I did about 1500 fly. Fly day. Fly drill and fly swim. We did most of it with fins. Actually felt a lot like yesterday but with fly.
Met and had coffee and lunch with a bunch of swimmers to talk about our new pool options. I just love the community here.  Really great people. Got a lot of Christmas shopping done.
Rode the trainer to Dexter. Do you like Dexter? So weird that I kind of like him even though he is a serial killer. Good workout. Legs got a little tired after about 4 each time.

Please excuse the typos. Just typed all of this on a tablet.
