I just noticed that this will be post number 300 for this particular blog – which is kinda cool in a fairly geeky way.<\/p>\n

I headed over to the natatorium for my swim this morning – had a bit of an adventure.<\/p>\n

First up, I had to scan my ID card myself at the desk. Then, because it was my first time there, I had to have my picture taken with a web cam and then sign a electronic reader stating that I’d read the policies. Very strangely hi-tech. And kinda dumb cause I’d just scanned in my ID card that has my picture on it.<\/p>\n

So, I got directions down the hall to the locker rooms. I find an unoccupied locket and get changed, then go to put in my nickel as it indicated on the website for locker rental. Ah, oops – it’s not a nickel. It’s $.50! For what amounted to a 25 minute rental. I had some extra change with me, but that’s not the point. Anyway, I quick rinse down and on into the pool area.<\/p>\n

I asked the lifeguard which lane I could use for swimming, since it appeared they were doing some kind of work on one side of the pool. I also asked how the lanes were set up so I could figure a distance. She vaguely pointed to the far side of the pool and ignored the rest. I would think that given there were only two people in the pool to be watched, she would have appreciated a little conversation, but she was too busy being bored.<\/p>\n

So, I swam my 9 laps, which, I think, equals about a 1\/4 mile. I had to stop ever so often and the last lap was a little weak, but I finished. Since the 9th lap put me at the far end of the pool, I got out and walked my tired and sorry ass back around the pool to the locker room. <\/p>\n

I took a quick shower, got dressed, and headed to the student union for lunch. I was tired, but I thought I was doing okay. But, while I stood there waiting for the server to dish up my fried rice and hand me my pre-packaged sushi – I suddenly got very tired. Like, almost falling over, tired. I paid for my food and found a somewhat quiet spot to sit and recover before I headed back to the office. I had some juice and I think that helped.<\/p>\n

So, I’m back in the office and still alive, though I could really use a nap.<\/p>\n

later…<\/p>\n
