Hi. :help:
Was just wondering how you handle practicing by yourself. My team only practices two times a week and that is obviously not enough time in the water to improve. At practice, we do anywhere between 3,200 and 3,800... and I usually do the same when I swim by myself (right now I'm getting in two solo practices, but I'd like to do more). Usually the USS team or High School is practicing at the same time and that sorta helps get me moving. But how do you guys motivate yourself to keep going - because weekly I am starting to ask myself - "why am I doing this"... when I'm trudging along solo. I do compete and love it... but I just get down and in the gutters once in a while. I usually get my workouts from the "workout forum" here on the site... but do you have any thoughts on how to get more motivated? I hope I don't sound desperate, but just need some feedback from those who are going thru the same thing.

I feel my 100 is not were I want it yet, and with our weather we've had in Jan. and being out of the pool most of this week with a cold I haven't had any consitiant good workouts.
I'm going to tell you to shut your eyes and go for the 100. I did a 200,100 and 50 this past weekend and surprised myself. 1st event in 25 years and only seriously trained for 6 weeks, although I'd been doing a mile for a bout 6 weeks prior to the more organised training.
