we swam today. practice was pretty good. nothing really embarrassing to report. i actually got a compliment from kk today. from memory, here was my workout:
200 warm up
6x100 easy free
1x50 kick
pyramid set: 100, 200, 300, 200, 100
3x75 drill, easy, sprint
total: 1975 yards
so i have about 11 minutes until my 30th birthday. at first, i was really excited about it - that was about a month ago. as it got closer and closer to the day, i've started to feel more and more melancholy. i'm mourning the passing of my 20s. i remember how confident i felt about being in my 20s. that the world was mine, that things were going well. that i was on the right path. but now at the dawn of my 3rd decade, i've come to find that i'm not where i wanted to be at this point in my life.
for the past couple days, i've walked by this whiteboard in our office on which a quote is written, "make every second count, for a second lost cannot be regained." sure, i've heard that saying before, mainly in the form of "carpe diem," but every time i passed it in the hall, i questioned myself. have i done that? did i make the most of my 20s? are there things that i could have done when i was younger that i can't do now? am i mourning the loss of my youth? do i really feel old? no, not really. but what is it? do i feel regret? tell me, pointes high pointers.
1 minute and counting.
