Ouch. Lactate sets are hard to do on your own too. Maybe all of swimming is hard to do OYO unless it's a quickie sprint workout. Stole this set from Jeff Comming's blog. Not swimming tomorrow after 3 really solid workouts in a row. Meeting up with Jazzy for weights at noon.

Trying to stay calm ... trying to stay calm. Had the only hair disaster of my life. Went in for zapping of gray + cut as a golden blonde. Came out an entirely different dark color. The only conclusion we could reach was that the bottle was defective or mislabeled. Really not a happy camper at the moment. Going in for some damage control tonight while Lil Fort is at swim practice. Argh!!!

    ... it is a recovery workout and you are just playing for a change.

    I was so relieved to have that set done. And so looking forward to just a speed workout on Friday.

    At salon getting it fixed. But it will take a few months to return to my previous color. At least I'm walking out with many many hair products.

    I liked it too. Because it's broken up, it's not as dreadful to do one your own as some LT sets (like 8 x 100 @ 2:00 best average).

    Alas, I think it will be a few months until I get my natural hair color back.
