In another thread someone was mentioning getting out of practice early because they weren't doing well. When, or why, have you gotten out early?
I'll start:
(1) Kicked in the face (really hard, big owies!)
(2) Kicked in the shoulder (by big guy 6'4" 200#s, I call him husband!)
(3) Decided to swim with aforementioned husband immediately after putting to sleep 14 year old black Lab. We thought it would take our minds off of MacGuire. All I discovered was that I can't swim and cry at the same time.
(4) Bad back- more owies. Good chiropractor- all better.
And I SHOULD have got out (Jan 2001) when:
I swam the whole workout, with good effort, and was shivering cold. I told my husband that I was really cold and he replied, "Maybe you should swim some more (tonight)." I said, "Nah, we're done, I'm getting out." That night I went to the ER and was diagnosed with viral meningitis! Nope, he still hasn't lived THAT one down :p
The childcare pages me and I have to go pick up my screaming squirt. The frequency of these calls has diminished since she discovered Elmo, though. I love Elmo!!!
boooooooooooooooo red grover! Blue Grover and Cookie Monster ROCK!
Anyhoo - I can think of a few times I have left practice early recently:
ear infection (clogged ears make swimming very uncomfortable
leg cramps from hell - I generally swim through most of them, but when your calf locks up, then your quad as you try to stretch out your calf, then your hammy when you try to stretch out your quad... thats just a bad situation
maryland basketball games - practice runs 630-8, and if the game starts at 8, i may get in a few min early and then get out a few min early to walk to the arena (just across the creek from the pool)
feeling sick - the last thing I want to do is have a visit from ralph in the pool and not only ruin my practice, but everyone else's as well
near........ far..........
