I'm been swimming since I was 19. I've competed in local, regional, and national masters meets since 1989. This past season I've noticed that I've really lost my desire to swim. Part of this may have been caused by not being able to afford the trip to Nationals this year in Hawaii. And last year I experienced much of these same feelings and my performance at Nationals (Santa Clara) was horrendous. Any suggestions on how I can get excited again?

I took a month off one time and it turned into three years before I talked myself into getting back in the pool. That was a year and three months ago, and now that my weight is back down and I'm swimming distances that I've never done before in practices, I'd be afraid to take another "break". At 51, my cholesterol and HDL's/LDL's as well as all my other bloodwork are tremendous and that is my motivation to continue now.
