Keeping Motivated

Every time there is a thread about "why do competition" I note that it keeps me motivated to swim hard.I am discovering the truth about that for me in a less helpful way.I have a partially torn rotator cuff tendon(supraspinatis) in my left shoulder.Currently they are treating it conservatively with PT.If that works,fine,but if not, I will need surgery.Due to this injury I missed Indy and now MV.I am not supposed to swim with that arm yet,and since I have had problems with the right shoulder before, I thought it best to not do one arm swimming.With only kicking workouts available, and no meets to shoot for, am finding it very hard to enjoy workouts.Yes I can work on streamlining and SDKs etc.,but without a meet that isn't as important as I wish it was.I know many of you have been in this position before and I was wondering how you kept motivated.The one good thing,at least this happened in a year I am at the top of my age group(64.)

  • :bighug: Sheeesh, King Frog; that's about all I can offer you. I do hope you recover quickly! My last couple of months have been rotten, due to various (genetic) body ailments conspiring against me; mostly non-swimming related. It has been a real struggle, so I understand... Chris has a great approach; I hope his message will inspire you. You do, after all, have those killer King Frog legs, so keep on kickin', King Frog; keep on kickin'! :cheerleader:
