i didnt do it.

yesterday called for a pool workout. i'm not always, um, excited to get to the pool. and admit that even through the warm up i'm usually grumbling about swimming. sorry, but i just will never love it.

but.

i will do it. and do my best at it. yesterday i fell short. on the workout was sets of 200s on 2:xx pace. actually under that pace. i swam my ass off. each one. and came up slow each time. 2 seconds, 1 second. but never securely below that pace. dang it.

but.

six months ago i couldnt make the 200 interval on a time that was 11 seconds slower. so there is progress. thats my motivation.

i like to think maybe i'm a little like this guy.



doing something each day to get just a little bit better.

(*humor me people. with another step AWAY from a 2011 nfl season i am desperate. am wishing DWTS would last just a little bit longer. )

BARON BATCH
i fumbled (yes another football reference) onto this blog. he's the steelers 7th round pick. a running back. but this kid has alot more to offer us than just yards. all i can say is WOW.

Thanks so much for sharing Baron's blog. I seriously don't know if I've ever read something that I identified with so much or that rung so true to me!!! Geez!!! Can't wait to (hopefully) watch him play this fall!
