met theresa at the Y pool at 5:30 am. not a morning person, never have been. swimming with theresa was my motivation. we entertain eachother during workouts with the latest husband drama or my favorite, discussing our work-outs. i realized even prior to joining "T" at the pool that we were facing different Giants in the pool. mine was simply learning to breath without aspirating the dirty bug water and hers was how to beat her time best time in the 1 mile free-style. large gap between us. she was patient and instructional, thank GOD, she always has been.
we started out with a free-style warm-up which involved swimming 50 meters with rest in between for me. "T" could have easily swam a straight 500 for warm up but she kept me company as we discussed recipes and what kind of goggles to purchase. we swam a few sprints which is all it took to wear me out. We only completed about 400 meters but it felt good to get swim #1 behind me. came home afterwards, showered, sat down with my coffee and enjoyed the magic of early mornings without TV or chatter :)
