I'm going to find a way to spend less time in the pool and still improve. Running and ridding a stationary bike maybe. I'v just started back up again after a 3 week break and I wasn't working very hard before that break. Now Im trying to work hard to improve and its boring and not fun.
I like some aspects of swim practice and not others. I'm terrible with IM sets, for instance... also kicking (but at least unlike when I first started, I'm moving forward while kicking and not feeling as if I'm in a holding pattern) so those are very frustrating. But I figure they make the rest of the practice feel soooo good (sort of like what happens when you stop beating yourself over the head, maybe...). ;)
And since I run as well as swim, the combination of the two keeps things fun.
