fartleks
Now that would be a lek worth witnessing.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have you tried fartleks or interval training?
They make me mad. Seriously, a good portion of what I get from this is uninterrupted laps. It's just when I get to the end, and UHG. When I have to stop, be it for goggle fail or obstacles, I get pissy.
But I think I need to try it. My internal metronome is off or something.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You gotta go fast to get fast!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sara - I hate to be the one who says it, but maybe you are thinking too much about it. Could you NOT time yourself for a couple of nights and just try to zen swim?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So, okay, sticking with plan 1.2, which is taking my day off, dealing with my shit, and no one needs to know. (1.1 was crafting another lie about needing the morning off, I was gonna go with waiting on the plumber to fix my water heater).
Incidentally, I was leaving 7-11 today and the cop parked next to me as I was backing out was the dude who pulled me over. Awk-ward! Hullo, witness to my embarassment! (I have to say, he was very nice about it all, staying completely impersonal and not casting any judgment and just sticking to the rulebook).

I used to go fast! My best was 2 miles at a 55/50 pace. I used to ring in an average of 57s. And now I'm over a minute. It's stupid. I'm just slow.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, taxes filed.
Someone reassure me that I'm not a failure because the house isn't completely packed and all of the things on the to-do list aren't done yet? Even though I took a nap today instead of spending that hour packing.

You are completely not a failure, and the nap was probably restorative, right? So all the better for having been taken.
I had to look up fartlek.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So not a failure. Packing and moving is a marathon, not a sprint, taking a nap is perfectly fine.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Most definitely NOT a failure, Dana. You filed your taxes already! That counts as early in my book.
He fell in love mostly, most of all, with Clawdeen from Monster High.
Well who wouldn't?
Barbies must be the dolls one plays with when one plays dating. I notice that dress-up games aren't pretend dating, they are pretend pirates, or hobbits, or elves, or wizards.
I know those orange chairs well, ita.
