Premonition


As we all know, a premonition is a situation where future events are forecast. Like our friend Nostradamus who predicted everything from fires to famines to pasteurized milk. I am sure somewhere in one of his quatrains he predicted that we have a BIG DAY on Thursday as SB turns 50. We are doing 50 x 100 as a workout, but I can't say that I was thrilled to see 21 100s on the sheet today. At least we know that we won't repeat today's workout as it was all I could do to stay in the pool. I kept saying to myself "self, it will be different on Thursday because it's SB's birthday and we'll all be together, and 100s aren't that bad, and when we finish we'll be happy, and don't be so mad Bill gave us this workout today." So I thought this the whole time, which oddly prevented me from going into a negativity spiral. Here it is:

200 on own
5 x (2x50)
1-2 work on extension
3-4 work on catch
5-6 work on pull
7-8 work on finish
9-10 I forget but I worked on kicking
250 IM first and last 50 fly
4 x 100 on 2:00
6 x 100 on 1:50
8 x 100 on 1:40 going 1-4 first 50 fast, 5-8 second 50 fast
4 x 100 on 1:55
300 hypoxic

Trying to figure out my swim schedule this week to build up to Thursday. Maybe I'll just taper until then. :)
