School starts today so back to the Y pool. Started with an easy 400, then did some drills. Kick drills kill my back, so I spread them out. I wonder if it’s something I’m doing wrong. Did some speed work and suddenly, out of nowhere, Hank rised up and smote me with his stick of pain. Freaking Hank…I was in my 3rd 50 and had to stop and see if it would go away. I could press and feel it. Hurt down my arms, in my back, and of course at the site of my stupid *&%$@# pancreas. Decided to do "Hakuna Matata" and if it didn’t stop, I’d call it a morning. It subsided by the time I finished "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" so I swam a few more easy laps, did 150 more of speed work then finished up. (Note: I "sing" Broadway showtunes in my head while I swim to keep track of laps…L=lap 12=The Lion King ergo Hakuna Matata.)

Overall a good swim, although slowed by Hank.
