Hi Gang,
So here it is--Fall is upon us, and winter is around the corner. This time of year, when it is dark and gray--and so very cold, I find it difficult to go swim.
Maybe it's the getting wet or the getting cold, but I just lack the motivation to get myself going.
So, if/when you all have days (God forbid weeks) like this, how do you manage to overcome it, and get yourself swimming?

The things that makes it difficult for me to go swim when it's cold are:
-walking out in the cold to the building (so I bought a giant puffy coat and warm fuzzy gloves. they'll keep me warm and are so fun!)
-the pool where I swim is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, which makes the outside seem inside, and the air inside isn't really that warm at all (if rehab permits, I'll run first to get warm, or even bike to get a little hot inside, then go swim. hopefully the swim will be refreshing)
thanks for all of you tips so far! I appreciate each and every one of them!
For you Yankee fans, Paul O'Neil trains at the health club where I go--he's in incredible shape!
