monday issue...

so yeah...messed up the alarm for waking up to swim monday...so i took the morning off to do school stuff....then my first class of the day got cancelled...my prof is ill...but she sent slides anyway...so i went though them just like it was class...but was able to do some other work too...so that was good...then to campus...for marathon day...

three classes in a row (usually 4) with no break...and the last class being a 3 hour lab...we actually got to do some measuring in the lab today...but nothing really fun yet...unless you consider measuring Crisco using the water displacement method fun...

then it was specialty run time...doing 400m repeats from the Barton springs parking lot...one lap composed of 2x400...IM distance did a total of 6 of these...so 12x400...wow....i just realized i did 12 400s last night...hmm...anyway...they were to be run at hard effort...with coach telling me to not focus on my time...just push the effort...try to drop my arms...and pick up my knees on the up hills...they ranged from 1.35-1.50...but the majority of the longer ones in the beginning and middle of the set...i felt good...like i was pushing it...but feeling strong at the same time...one lap cool down...foot drills etc in the parking lot and i was home by 7.40...oh yeah!
