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?

Over the past couple of years, I've invented a bunch of sometimes-crazy, sometimes not-so-crazy projects for myself to sustain my interest. Yes, this is a sometimes-peculiar idea of "fun":
Indeed. This Saturday there is a meet that we go to as a club and try to get a big team together for, but otherwise is 'low key', which has 13 individual events (25s, 50s, 100s on all strokes plus 100IM) and 3 relays. As a challenge I've entered the entire program. Like you say, "fun".
