Oh man, most of the day I felt like crap. I swear I'm bi-polar. An hour would go by and I felt lazy and tired, an hour later and I'm motivated, hour later I'm energetic and silly, hour later tired and bitchy. The cycle is on repeat and is uber annoying. At least I have a few hours a day of silliness and energy....
Hit the pool post work and got my taper swim in. Swimming felt FANTASTIC. Hit my times on the 100s set, 1:55, 1:52, 1:45, 1:41, 1:35...right on.
There was the beautiful man in the lane next to me doing the butterfly. Once I was finished with my swim I just sat and watched him. He must have had >10% body fat, he was so lean, arms and back looked like tightly weaved rope. Watching him swim was a phenomenal work of art.
I checked my phone before I left the gym and noticed I had missed a txt from my mom. She expressed how proud she was of me and how excited she was going to be at my race (first one she's been able to make it to all year). You know it's funny, the action she took was small, like a goldfish. Just a simple phone txt, but the result it had was Orca sized. Receiving that msg MADE my day.

It's always cool to sit back and watch some of the really good swimmers at the pool just fly through the water. Pretty amazing how they just seem to be like dolphins.
Looks like your enjoying your taper though.
