Travis came in and said we were swapping today’s workout with tomorrow’s lunch. It doesn’t work quite that easily for me. I like going to lunch with the group and I couldn’t swap everyone’s schedule like that. So I wound up going to the gym by myself, and that means swimming instead of back and biceps.

The pool was empty when I arrived at 12:30. But almost as soon as I started swimming (before I finished my first 50) a fairly large woman got into the slow lane to swim. Next a very skinny woman got in the fast lane and complained about how warm the water was. Actually, now that I’m writing this down I wonder if she was complaining about it, or happy about it. Either way, she mentioned that the water was warmer than usual. I hate it when the water is warm, so I automatically took it as if she was complaining. A minute later a guy about my age got into the slow lane with the larger woman and started swimming. Then about 2 laps later an older couple came out and started getting into the slow lane. At this point the larger woman got out. That’s pretty crazy. None of them ever tried to share my lane, which is a good thing, because I was in a fairly angry/aggressive mood… and that made for a pretty good workout.
