I had a small baby to take care of (my first) and I was completely swept away with it all. Yeah, the metabolism thing crept up on me and slammed me hard. I'm still trying to slog my way through it. And there is more and more gray hair. UGH! But I'm not putting up with as much stuff as I did at 20. Embrace your age (I say as 40 looms ever closer...sigh). I don’t really remember turning 30.

But people say that 30's are better than your 20's since you're more set in your identity, and more financially secure blah blah blah. Still..the gray hair (which I'm already getting), the slow metabolism the ache-y-ess whenever I work out.....not pleasant. And to think...it's going to get worse! Sorry...I'm not very helpful.

My paper ran an interview with him about his training methods. As a kid, he biked to the pool at 5:00 AM. In training for Sydney, he lived next to the pool and started at 6:00 AM. Now, he swims during the public hour with a small group of 5 and they swim at 8:00 AM. The first weeks he was told off by various women who scolded him for being a drug-user and maniac. One woman claimed she had been swimming there for 35 years so he better stop splashing. The pool has now put in two extra wide lanes with additional separation padding to reduce waves. Thought you might enjoy the tidbit, given your 'pool bitches' over there in Oregon! Carrie,
