negative split day

am was a barton springs swim....1x600 warm up...4x800 negative splitting each...200 cool down...i started in the dark and ended in daylight...but was able to successfully negative split each 800...i was happy about that...and happy about completing a 4000 swim...sweet

home to scarf some breakfast and pack a lunch and several bags for the rest of a long...long day...was on campus for the 9.30am flag lowering for jordan...it was touching...i only knew one other person...but it was ok...it was something that i wanted to do...and was glad i did...

then off to study for an hour...chem again...i know..the test is coming and i promise i will stop talking about it at least for a day...then classes back to back from 11-5...got out of my lab at 5.15 ught...i did get to bake cake though...got to my car at 5.30 and actually made it to practice...and changed...before warm-up started... :)

it was a small group...i thought everyone was tired from running in the relays...then i looked around and most of the people that were there...ran the relay...then i found out why...it was wilke repeat night...nice...so run to wilke (oh for those of you not is austin...it is a huge hill...long and steep) 6x all the way up...down and pick it up around the corner repeats...effort was "just get up the hill" picking up the pace and cadence when the bottom leveled out a bit...was working on picking up my knees to help me get some more distance coming down....and a bit on my cadence...but was super excited to have negative split the set...woot!...run back to barton springs...then home...

j cooked dinner...yum...it was really nice to not have to worry about cooking...there was just too much going on...much appreciated...love him!...then early to bed for me...so i can early rise...and do it again...
