It Rained. I like rain. But it's so disruptive sometimes

ELLIPTICAL 30 mins
SWIM 30 mins and 1200 yards

My longest swim yet! Another warm morning in the 60's with humidity and rain. No bike commute today, so the plan was to drive to the gym then to lab. My overall goal was 60 mins of cardio. Just move, just do something. The rain made it hard to set a plan, if there was lightning the pool would close. Then what would I do? Since I was walking 1.2 miles to/from my parking spot I really didn't need the extra treadmill walking. I didn't want to do 60' on the elliptical. And did I want to go to the gym for just the elliptical? I'm already running late and behind schedule...

Ah, that's the lazy brain talking. Just get to the gym.

And sure enough, as I was a few blocks away there was a flash of lightning. Pool closed.

After 30 mins on the elliptical, ignoring the news trash and olympic highlights, doing a bujo flip-through video, I went to the front desk to see how much longer the pool would be closed. DS was there! It was 8:32-ish and the pool was closed another 15 minutes. I chatted with DS, decided to just shower and get to work. But the clock kept ticking.

While in the shower it was 8:40, 8:41, I started thinking I'd shower and suit up, head to the pool and check on the status. If it was closed, I just change clothes. If it was opened, WIN!

The hall door was locked. 8:45.  Then Anton unlocked at 8:46 and I joked that I just need one 'down n back' to say I swam today. I did more than just that -- 1200 yards! I extended my initial 20 min goal. The last 10-12 mins were just slow drilling and focused work. I used a pull buoy for most of this, but I'm working my way into regular swimming.

At one point I thought I heard a Journey song start to play, but I had the wrong song. But I had Faithfully stuck in my head the rest of the day. Songlist! And pull the Journey CD out for play :)

Afterwards my neck was tight and I had a bad headache. I also had stomach upset all day, likely because I ate before the gym then almost right after. All day I just wanted to up-chuck breakfast. Plan better!

But what a WIN! I made a WasGonna into an I DID.
