Chlorine. It’s what’s for breakfast.

4:15 – (yes a.m.) my gentle alarm wakes me up and I pretend not to hear it

 

4:18 – I pull my head off the pillow and head downstairs to fix Mike’s sandwich (the rest of his lunch was packed the night before); oh yeah and I fed the dog who was THRILLED to get her breakfast early

 

4:25 – I make protein shakes for post workout.

 

4:32 – I head back upstairs to get my swimmie on, brush my teeth and put my contacts in

 

4:44 – I head back downstairs, grabbing goggles, swim cap, water, watch and all the energy I can muster

 

4:45 – We leave the house

 

5:00 – Practice starts and the water feels cold! 

 

5:36 – I look for a little pick-me-up and find none other than my finely sculpted hubs swimming in the lane next to me… looking way better than this guy!

 

6:00 – Finished approximately 1.35 miles in the pool, a few gulps of the best chlorine energy drink ever, leaving only sweat behind and a little less water

 

Chlorine; it’s what’s for breakfast.
