Today I made sure to get Alex before heading to the pool.\u00c2\u00a0 He also made sure I got him before leaving.\u00c2\u00a0 It worked out pretty well.\u00c2\u00a0 As we walked in, we saw Jeff and Steve coming out of the locker room.\u00c2\u00a0 They have previously said that they do cardio on Wednesdays.\u00c2\u00a0 I asked them if they were going to swim.\u00c2\u00a0 They declined.\u00c2\u00a0 They are watching episodes of Firefly while they run on the treadmills.\u00c2\u00a0 I could never deny someone that experience.<\/p>\n

The pool was empty when we got in, but halfway through our warm-up a lady got in the slow lane and started swimming.\u00c2\u00a0 She was pretty fast for a girl, but never swam more than a 50 without a taking a break.\u00c2\u00a0 She probably only swam 600 yards before getting out.<\/p>\n

We decided to mix it up today.\u00c2\u00a0 We did some IM instead of the usual freestyle.\u00c2\u00a0 That turned out to be pretty fun, but it definitely gets my heartrate up faster than freestyle.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe that means I need to find a way to push myself harder on freestyle?\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll have to experiment with that idea one of these days.\u00c2\u00a0 Alex kept up fairly well on the IM, but fell behind on kicking.\u00c2\u00a0 Kicking was last, so maybe that played into it as well, but I think Alex needs to work on his kick.<\/p>\n
