lunchtime:

forty laps in the pool.  after such a crummy night, my body protested mightily.  when i started my first lap, my body did say to me, “wtf?!”  i was ready to quit at lap twenty, figuring after such a great week that was enough, but then i remembered that i was having a hellacious work day and there was no point hurrying back to it early.  so i went ahead and finished the other twenty.  you know that song running against the wind?  i’ve done that – i’m sure we all have – and it definitely slows you down.  well, i had never much thought of it, but swimming against the wind is pretty darned tough too.  i can’t believe how much the wind can push on me when i’m mostly submerged.  crazy.  half of my laps seemed like they would never end because no matter how hard i stroked, i didn’t seem to be getting anywhere.  that’s gotta count for a few extra burned calories right?
