How embarrassed do you feel for getting out before the workout is over if you don't feel well? This evening, I was at practice for my new team and I was swimming so poorly that I got bumped down a lane. Then, I began to feel even worse, so finally I just got out at one hour and went home. Now that I feel a bit better, I'm totally mortified for not finishing. Extenuating circumstance: I'm new to this team and am very slow compared to them--normally I swim in lane 2. So I'm always a little embarassed jsut for being slow.
I didn't get out today, but I know I'm fighting a cold and just don't feel well, really sluggish in the water. I did try this though: at the end of my crappy workout I asked for a timed push 50. I figured that I know I feel like crap, what would my time be? If it was bad I attribute it to feeling bad, if it was OK then I'm stoked because I'll go even faster when I feel better!
It was better than I expected :) So I left on a cheery note!
How's that for positive thinking?
