Some truths?
<br/><br/>
Going to bed last night - I felt like I had a profound weekend, that I had learned a lot of lessons that are good for life in general. Good thing last night's sleep helped me forget most of it :)
<br/><br/>
I had a dream a couple nights ago - and towards the end, I was disappointed in a little boy because he didn't want to go play with a little girl because it was the unpopular thing to do. "Well," I told him, "Sometimes you make decisions for yourself and sometimes you make decisions for other people." - For some reason this is really sticking with me. I think in general I tend to make a lot of decisions for other people, but clearly this isn't the way to live always. When I start to get overly stressed out (which I've kind of been riding the edge of the last month or so) I tend to resent the people I'm making the decisions for - but it's totally not their fault, it's mine for allowing myself to be in that situation.
<br/><br/>
Other than that I had a good workout weekend. I swam a 1:12 in a 100 yd free from a push, even with a bad 3rd turn. 1:09 is in sight - and then after that, I guess 1:04 will be my goal. I'm both impressed with myself that I'm getting my times back down and a little frustrated that I'm celebrating a 1:12 when I know I used to be so much faster. And then yesterday I ran 35 min straight - my goal was to go something over 30, and I didn't look at the clock until 31. Huge improvement. I'm pretty happy with it. Super slow, but again, I have to remind myself that I'm still making progress, and that I'm going for time first, and the speed will come. 5k next Sunday. I really really really really (really) want to break 40 minutes. The pace I ran yesterday won't get me there - but I'm hoping a combination of the adrenaline, and a little more confidence in myself will help me go a little faster.
