I did NOT want to swim last night. I need to swim. I had swum only twice this season before last night. Cool weather does not motivate me to swim. I figured if I just showed up at the workout swimming would follow. I showed up. I still did NOT want to swim. I told myself if I put my hand in the water and it felt at all cool, I could bail. I put my hand in the water. Damn. It felt nice and warm. So I got in. And I swam. And I wanted to be done and I checked my watch every two minutes and finally it was over and I was glad I swam. I bailed on the last 100 when my calf started cramping but I swam 1200 yards total including drills and all. Not bad for swim workout #3 of the season.
I also do NOT want to do what I'm supposed to be doing at work right now and I think that attitude is spilling over into other areas. Unfortunately, I can't bail on my work assignment if the water is cool.
