Damn Kids

Tonight was the regular Wednesday Night Intervals. The workout? 10-14 400's with 2 minutes passive recovery between each.

I was joined by regulars Liz and Doris...and three newcomers - all Rehoboth Beach lifeguards with an average age of about 20.

I started out ok, and stayed within 2 seconds of the youngin's, but during the 7th 400 I had difficulty breathing and got very light-headed when we stopped. I was out. It felt awful to see the others finishing the workout, while I stretched and cooled down, but my health is more important than finishing a workout at this point.

But then my coach told me that I ran those seven 400's about 10-12 seconds faster than the last time. Guess the kids helped push me faster.

Still....damn kids!
