Somewhere in the past two weeks, I've hit either a workout wall or some kind of mental burnout in swimming.
After finally completing 2000 yards (I am a natural sprinter, so I STRUGGLED), I quickly went downhill, first hardly breaking 1200 yards, then 600 yards, and last week, I had to get out at 150 yards. I'm not sure if it's because I started cross training in kickboxing or whether my workouts now fall in between me teaching two to three swimming classes in a row, or what, but I just feel burnt out and unmotivated (and now that the high school swim team has started practicing at the same time I begin laps, I feel even less motivated! :( )
Any suggestions on keeping my spirits up and getting past this burn out wall?
Elaine,
Your awesome!
I've added 800 IM's and 500 IM's to my workouts. I am contemplating a 1000 IM. Hmmmmmm. Its possible if I am already doing 800's and 500's.
Thinking of doing the Turducken Swim Challenge for the day after Thanksgiving.
Thanks Bill! :D
Yes! For sure: 400 IM & 400 free. I am still pondering other events.
See you there! :cheerleader:
Yikes; my memory is failing me... We did have that e-mail conversation already, didn't we? :rolleyes: Ellen will be there, too. Awesome!
I also plan on swimming 400 IM & 400 free, as well as breaststroke events.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add (the memory must be suppressed):
Swim a 3000 IM in workout. :eek: *
As suggested by he-who-shall-not-be-named, who somehow dreamed up this ridiculous swim, which is still admittedly somewhat short of this one.
Fun is where you find it, right? Egads.
Thanks for the idea! :D I already know I can swim a 2000 yd fly, so what the heck?
