Long Sunday

Woke up at 6 today and cleaned my house. It felt great to organize and sort and wash and wipe. I always seem to find calm and my personal center when I clean, organize or rearrange.

After that, around 9 or 10, I went to the gym to get my swim/bike out of the way for the day. I swam 300m warmup, 200m ladder, 100m cool down. It took me 35 minutes today. I focused on my arm position and thought about the angle of entry and the catch. Most of all, I thought about high elbows and reaching over the barrel.

I changed and went upstairs to ride an interval set on the bike. All of the spinning bikes were taken, so I had to start on one of the crap stationary bikes. Fifteen minutes on one of those was plenty to make me appreciate the form and functionality of a road bike setup. Switched to the spinning bike when one became available and finished up my ride there. Lots of standing, lots of hills and one "running with resistance" set, which kills.

This evening, I had work in Westchester. On my feet most of the night, didn't get home until just before midnight. My day was packed. But I made a lot of progress and I got to drive a Prius around. I love driving.
