I promise I'll make it up to you, Mr. SB! I swear!

I stood Mr. SB up last night for our cuddling session in front of CSI. Not really because I wanted to, I did want to see him, but I got distracted by other things I had to do, like bake a cake and um, catch snippets of some flick with a younger Reese Witherspoon in it, and um, do dishes, and work on my website. Oh I am so bad with my stationary bike! Alright, must clamp down, must cycle tonight ... anyway, I think Grey's Anatomy is on ... cool ...

Found some "gerbils" today at the local gym. Some members of my running club decided to do a treadmill marathon (42.2k). I personally want nothing to do with Mr. TM since he's such a bore, but you know that male bonding thing ... Grommit was there and albeit having BQ'd (qualified for Boston), he still smelled like a flower. Roly succeeded in finishing his first ever marathon, and I say kudos to him for having done it on a treadmill, 'cause no way in he** would I even think about attempting that. I'm actually grateful that I don't just have running as my training anymore ... how many options does one have when it's friggin' freezing outside and the windchill is at minus 20something?

Alright, one thing for sure though ... after the post-race celebration at my house, I had a WICKED session with Mr. Pool. Warmed up for eight laps (4x breast, 2x back, 2x front crawl) then took a minute break to stretch (7 min total), then went for the gusto. What I couldn't do yesterday because of being kicked out of the pool, I decided to do today ... and more! 42 continuous laps of 2x front crawl followed by 1x breast stroke and in 25 min., about 35.7 sec/lap. WAY COOL! Mind you, the laps are a little short of a regular pool, I think about 24m only, not the usual 25m. Finished off with a lap of butterfly feeling strong, and then one last casual lap of breast stroke before they closed the pool for the day. Grand total with warm-up and cool-down and two short rests: 52 laps in 35 min. or about a 40.4 sec./lap pace. I think I'm getting better ...
