How am I feeling?

I have been asked this question twice in the last 2 days. My initial response was, I feel good. Are you ready? Yes, I am. For me, that is a good sign, since my reputation is not one of cup is half-full, Mr. positive, be happy, love my life, nothing gets me down...

Truth is, I do feel pretty well, as far as preparing for the Games. Yesterday was my last swim workout prior to departue in 6 days! I did some 50 yd sprints, as well as additional easy yardage and TI stroke technique drills. My heart rate was maxing a little higher than usual, and I wasn't feeling too weirded out by the increased rate. A good sign. When I hit the weirding out phase when exercising, breaking down is not far behind. I am committed to resting sufficiently and staying healthy til next Wednesday.
