Hey gang! I'm sitting here inside, at the computer, because the late afternoon thunderstorm has closed my pool again! In the past week I've only been able to get in the pool once and the forcast is 40 to 60 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms for the next 4 days. I had much the same senerio last week and could tell a difference when I got back in for my one workout this week. So what do you all do when something interferes with you workout and you can't get in the pool? :(

it is interesting what you said about being out of sorts after taking a break- I find that even stopping for more than 3 days will make a big difference in my performance
You've heard of runner's high, right? Exercise releases endorphins in the brain, giving you a natural "high".
I remember my high school coach trying to convince the team that is was a good thing that we were practicing over winter break, otherwise we would be going through "withdrawal". ;) (But then again, the pain of the custodians turning the pool heater off for several days was not a good alternative. :eek: )
