Foiled again!

So, the pool was closed today.

Yeah, I should have known.

I took the garbage out last night too. No, the garbage did not get picked up this morning.

I knew there would be no mail though.


So now I'm a day behind in swim camp. I guess I'll have to do a double on Wednesday or Friday (we already have doubles scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday). Argh. I should have driven out to swim with my coach early this morning, but I thought I was SO slick, getting that extra sleep and swimming on my own...because who needs all that extra driving, right? I'm perfectly capable of swimming on my own. But no. I'm not. Not when the stupid pool is closed.

Okay. I'm over it. I did about 50 minutes on the bike trainer instead, while watching 2 episodes of Arrested Development (the funniest show EVER, by the way...everyone must go right out to their local video store and get the DVDs). That's probably better anyhow...I hadn't been on a bike in way too long. It was good for me to get a little diversity, even if it was forced.

Tomorrow, swimming early in the morning with the TNT crowd, then running in the evening, and then (gulp) swimming again at Peak at night. I've never done 3 real workouts in a day (aside from race day, of course)...I might collapse. I'm already anticipating the meal I'm going to allow myself after the second swim. Bread bowl? yep. Chocolate chip cookie? two!

Tonight are the Golden Globe Awards...my cousin is nominated for Best Actor, and Good Night and Good Luck for Best Movie and Best Screenplay. Cross your fingers!

holy crap! who's your cousin???? i totally missed my swim this morning...arg! i've heard AD is hilarious--I must rent them for the long trainer rides! :)

cousin is David Stratharin (never could spell his last name)...he's the star of Good Night, and Good Luck. He didn't get the award though. :( But, pretty cool he was nominated, eh? He's always been kind of a 2nd ring guy before now...

AD is AWESOME. Definitely great for biking because they're about 25 minutes each, so the time goes by quickly...

Wow, now I can say I know someone who knows someone famous. Cool.

Very cool! Hey, I'm in for Steelhead if you are! Wil's doing it too so we were going to treat it as a long practice for the real thing...the more the merrier! :) Drop me an email and we can work out the details! It would probably be a good thing for me to do (mentally at least) before IM MOO.
