Green Lake
Epic battle of truth and justice between my lungs and the foul (fowl?) air
My lungs are victorious!

Walked most of the way between the theater and the crosswalk because I got simultaneously lazy and bad at judging distances. It's nearly half a mile. :-/

Missed swim workout due to emergency irrigation
[Insert hose-laying joke here]

:-/
Pushups.

'Bout an hour's worth of what would have been lap swim or shallow aquajogging but with a 65lb cousin riding on my back.

1x100 - kick down, drill back, 50 easy
10x50 in the following cycle:
(1st fifty - 12.5 yds sprint underwater backstroke kick, 12.5 yds sprint kick, 25 easy
2nd fifty - like the first
3rd fifty - stroke down, swim back)x3
last fifty fly down, back back
125 easy
5 min vertical dolphin in 20(?) second increments
warmdown

Towing little kids and chains of little kids around a swimming pool. Great fun.

Made it halfway before letting myself stop to cough. Couldn't stop coughing or start to run again for most of the rest of the way around. Very discouraging.

Less discouraging: seeing a runner pushing a bulldog in a two-baby stroller. New role model?

General strength repair:
4 min 11 seconds of wallsittin' (Michael Jackson, RIP)
100 crunches
Plan to run later

Wildlife: invisible/none


EDIT: And by "run" I mean spend a bunch of time with my grandmother

There were ducklings!
