Into the pool, no excuses. Not even the most typical of all excuses (if you're female) could keep me from the pool today. I've got work to do:

I also had an extra 10 minutes of swimming to do because I missed this day last week. I needed to find a solution to being tired at the end of the day and as it happens, the city pool I frequent has babysitting. I took advantage of the service today so I could do my swimming in the morning. Junior and I headed out to the pool for 0900 hrs and it turned out to be a great time to swim. I had the pool to myself. Best of all, I'm done my training for the day and I don't have the late evening swim to dread. I did my 350 meters at a good clip (holding steady at about 12 minutes) and then slowed my pace to pay attention to form. I found the swim relaxing and I felt ready to get on with my day. When I finished I picked up the Calgary Recreation schedule and discovered that I can take adult swimming lessons so I think I may sign up for the course in June. I'm relying on what I learned in swimming lessons from about thirty years ago so it's probably a good idea to get a refresher before really starting my triathlon career.
Dinners the last couple of nights have been simple but made with the ingredients we've had in the house. Today I made foccacia and biscotti from the box that I bought from the Victorian Epicure line (www.epicureselections.com/en/). I've had them for awhile and now that I've been cooking regularly, it seemed like no trouble at all to whip them up.
