Is anyone else out there having trouble with finding time and motivation in December?
It seems like from the time Thanksgiving dinner is done until the New Years Day football games are over, motivation and time are tough to find. Parties, shopping, end of the year deadlines.....blah, blah, blah. I have only been to the pool 5 times so far in December after averaging 15+ for the other months this year.
Swimming alone makes it difficult to find motivation when I am busy. Please be my "team" ... somebody give me kick in the a** to get moving again!
The new years resolutioners should hold a sale in early February. It's a pity all that shiny new equipment goes to waste in a closet. I know I could use a new gym bag.
This notion of trying to swim X billion yards a year is interesting. Is it the distance that is driving you or do you compete and your times are dropping? I've never thought of keeping gross yardarge as a measure. Might be worth considering. Would this demotivate slower sets or sets that are more demanding but less yardage?
