hills again...seriously?

morning swim at barton springs...and i actually saw someone i knew :) amy b and her buddy were out there for a swim too...i did a timed 2400...i finished in 52.00 it was a nice swim for me...nothing weird...just swim swim...there was no stopping or pushing off of walls...breathing was good...all seemed normal...i really don't like people swimming in black swim caps in the dark though...i wear the most garish ones that i have so i can be seen...so narrowly missed a head on with a big dude in a black swim cap...but i was lucky to have sighted at the moment i did...eek...i know my time wasn't super fast or anything but i was ok with that...though it was faster and farther than my 45minute non-stop swim so progress is being made...very very slowly...

i think i finally got all the books i need for school...had to grab my course packet for nutrition lab...read through a little of it...i am required to have a white lab coat...hrm...anybody have one they wanna give me...i used to have one in high school...maybe my mom still has that...i'll have to check...should be fun...i am totally nervous to go back...i guess it is the re-arrangement of the schedule and the fact that i will have homework to do that is creeping me out...i just have to use my time between training sessions and classes very wisely...but hey...after a week or so i think i will be ok...

pm run workout...started with a little run in the neighborhood...as it is time to ramp up on the mileage...then a short core class...then drills and strides then hill repeats...really we have done so many hill workouts in the past few weeks...but hey...hills make us stronger...right?...right...i was paired up with a really fast dude...so i wasn't getting a whole lot of rest between sets...i think it was almost better that way...i didn't have time to think about the next one...just grab a drink and off i went again...so they went fast...i finished strong so that was good...

i was totally tired so i was in bed...and asleep super early...not even a dream...
