I had the best sleep last night that I have had in five weeks. What a difference it makes when you don't have external stressors in your life. I even made it back to Master's Swim this morning. After begging Dave to let me sleep for "just one more minute. Fine...just 3o more seconds...please!" He forced me out of bed and into the pool I went. I think I even swam about 3,400 yards. It felt great since I have not been in the pool since the wreck- 14 days exactly. Too bad some of my friends stood me up this morning- you know who you are!
Overall, I think I did a decent job of maintaining fitness while living out of town. I certainly did not gain any, and I might have lost a little. But, I am happy with where I am at this point in the year, especially with the ups and downs of the traveling and wreck. I am even looking forward to getting back to speedwork on the track. Maybe one of the blessings of living out of town for 5 weeks will show up later in the year when I am not burnt out from starting way too early in the winter/spring. This forced rest and recovery period may pay dividens later on- I hope.
I also have some great news to share. Matt Weathersby turned 30 years old on March 14. I guess since he realized he was getting on up there, he proposed to Gina and they are now engaged. Good job Weathersby! You are now committed to attending marathons and other "gu strategy discussions" for the rest of your life!
Congratulations Gina and Matt! Engaged March 14, 2008.

Damie, I am SO glad you're home!!!! Sorry I didn't make it to master's swim this morning - something about picking up someone from the airport at 1:30 this morning prevented me from being there.... I gotta get back to it though and hopefully seeing you can be my motivation!!! :)
P.S. Great job in the Gtown half. I know you weren't too impressed with your time, but considering what you have been through the past few weeks I think you totally ROCKED it!!!!
Ouch! I know, I'm sorry I stood you up! I'm going to feel guilty about it all day. I made up for it by giving my spin class a good hard workout though. :)
Your forced rest is going to be a blessing I think!
