I've been working out with the age group/high school team in the mornings. I'm off this week so I didn't have to leave practice early to go to work. Went 5000 yards--the last time I did that Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Overall felt pretty good. Swam some fly, went 6:05 for a 500 free at the end of a distance set. Disclaimer--it took me two years to work up to this.

Oh and going back to the whole relative thing ... my coach told me that my kick was week and I should work on it more ... ok, so I started doing a regular kick workout (which I need to get back to) anyway ... this same coach told me I was one of the best kickers on the team (doesn't say much for my team) but that I could improve a lot in my kick. I didn't believe him (in terms of being a good kicker) and he asked me to name 5 people that were better kickers than me I did. He said you know what all those people have in common? They have all been swimming their entire lives. You started less than a year ago.
(oh and that story was not meant to toot my own horn but ... toot)
