Yay swimming! And why you shouldn't put a full water bottle in your gym bag
Today is the kind of day I was hoping for when I signed up to take swimming 4 days/week. It was glorious!
The downside is that I smashed my toe into the side of the pool as I was getting out. Just misjudged. Chipped my toenail (which I always keep really short), and now it hurts to wear heels... which is what I almost always wear to work. Luckily I can sit with my shoes kicked off under my desk, but that only works til I have to do something. Or go pee. hehe.
Also I think I'm getting a little bit of tendonitis in my right ankle. My ankles are very flexible and the additional stress of swimming 4 hours/week has sort of aggravated that tendon. Luckily I have only 1 more day this week and only 3 more days next week til end of quarter for me.

So this morning I dumped all my stuff into one of two bags. Clothes for work, water bottle, and protein shaker in my workout bag, and swim stuff in my swim bag. Add on a purse and some mail and I was a pack mule getting to my car this morning.
Bad thing was, it seems my water bottle opened up in my gym bag with my work clothes. I get to DeAnza for 7:30 spin, and I have no water, a soggy bra, and my pumps are full of water (as is my gym bag). Luckily my skirt and shirt were sitting on top of my shoes so they only got a little damp here and there. But no water = no workout.
So I went on to work, changed into my semi-dry work clothes, and left my sports bra on under my shirt. I stuck my wet bra over my under-desk heater and set my shoes by it, set it to "Hell on Earth", and by 8:45 stuff was dry enough to change into. But yuck, I've been at work since 7:45. Hopefully the masses will leave on the early side this evening.
Ahhh if it isn't one thing, it's another. Or two or three.
