Swimming well last practice

Well, I think I need to update this blog more often but something always seems to get in the way. Usually, I either forget to do it or just get interrupted with something that seems more urgent. In any case, I did find some time this evening to update.
My swimming has been going pretty well lately. At Wednesday's practice, we did a set of 5x200 on 5:00 descending each interval by 4 seconds as our main set. I decided to do it backstroke since it seems as if it is my best stroke lately. I did really good times and and was able to descend them perfectly. I started out with a 3:07, then a 3:02, 2:57, 2:55 and the last one was 2:51. That is only 2 seconds slower than my masters lifetime best that I did a couple of weeks ago of 2:49.67. I hope it is a good omen for provincials. Hopefully, I can knock it down another few seconds and go around 2:45. I would be thrilled with that. But even if I don't do that, I will still be happy since I accomplished my goal this year for masters which was to break 2:50 in the 200 back.

Yesterday was an absolutely crazy day for me. It was one of those days where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I woke up and tried to print out a resume for a job interview that I had and realized that I was out of toner. I quickly tried several different places to see if they had the kind of toner I need for the printer and I was out of luck, so I ended up not bringing my resume. I decided to take the skytrain to where I was going instead of drive since it was downtown and I don't like to pay for parking and all the congestion. The skytrain ended up breaking down for about 1/2 hour which made me late for my interview. I felt very nervous during the interview since I was kind of already in a flustard state of mine when I arrived. I found out later that I didn't get the job but it was not a surprise to me. Then, I go to pick up my laundry from the laundromat and several of my nice shirts are ruined with some kind of ink stains on them. I am not sure how that happened. Anyways, needless to say I was very glad when that day was over.
Today has been pretty quiet thankfully. I have spent the day mostly relaxing and doing some household chores as well as *finally* find a place that sells the right toner (too little too late I suppose). I also did some grocery shopping.
I hope swim practice goes well tonight. I really enjoyed Wednesday's practice, so hopefully we can do something similar tonight.
