A welcomed recovery workout

I was relieved to see "Recovery" listed under today's heading on the schedule this morning.  I indeed took it easy today.  It was about a 4,200 meter workout... nice and slow.  Nothing too strenuous.  Both my right shoulder and right knee have been bothering me.  Both injuries happend two weeks ago and just haven't had an opportunity to heal.  It was nice to have a workout where I wasn't expected to push myself.

I'm really looking forward to the Charlotte Grand Prix this weekend.  I feel that our high workload Long Course Meters combined with an improved diet, sleep and a little rest may yeild some solid times!

I took this picture as I was walking out of the pool.  It sounds odd, but there's just something interesting about a calm natatorium.  It's a place where some of the fastest swimmers on the planet splash water all over the place while fans scream themselves hoarse... yet, it's just so serene right now.  With the pool area clean and the lights off with the sunshine spilling through the windows I saw a form of industrial beauty as I left the pool today.  Enough so that I snapped a picture.
