Running With Jack

Last night I stopped at the pool in the neighboring town of Blankenloch for some laps. I have been really slacking off with swimming, it was only my second time at the pool this year. Last time it turned into a combat swimming session as the pool was overcrowded and almost impassable. This time it was just the opposite, there were a couple mothers with there kids in the kiddy pool and the main pool was empty, EMPTY, can you believe it, I sure couldn’t. I dived right in and got down to business, I knew it was just a matter of time before the hoards showed up. Surprisingly there were only about 10 people in the pool by the time I finished my 1000 meters. Anyway I think I set a new personal speed record and probably could have given any 90-year swimmers a good race ;-)

I am feeling totally regenerated this morning, I think the relaxed run on Monday mixed with a little more sleep and better eating have helped to clear the cobwebs a little. I am looking forward to a good training run this evening.

I was pestering, I mean encouraging, Sandra to pick up running again this morning. Her husband already vetoed running with my running club because they have other commitments on the nights the club runs. So on to plan B, I talked with my wife last night about whether I should offer to run with Sandra once or twice a week. Logistically this is no problem, Blankenloch is only a 5K run away, I would only need to alter my running route a bit. The only thing that I want to make sure about is that my wife doesn’t have any negative vibes about me running with a pretty young lass. My wife is not usually the jealous type, but I don’t want to leave anything to chance. Of course Sandra’s husband would need to be okay with this too, not that I am a wolf any anything - I guess I’m just weird about things like this.

I seem to have a lot of nervous energy today, I guess that’s why I am bloggering on like a fool. Today is my wife’s job interview and I hope so much that it goes well for her, she is one of the hardest working women that I know and probably overqualified for the office job she is applying for. I’ll certainly be saying a prayer when its time for her interview, we’ll see what happens.
