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

I used to be the hard working always doing the workout person in high school and college. Now that I am done, boy, have I changed.
I got out of practice on Monday when the coach said (after a 500 warmup) "ok, the next set is a 1650, 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50. Try and hold the same pace for all"
I get out when all it is a long distance freestyle like last night 6x400 hold pace.
There is a really opinionated lady that swims in my lane and if I see her face and know that she is going to be in a bad mood I usually move over into a lap lane and do my own thing.
I get out when I don't like the workout or I am not training for anything and lack the motivation to try hard.
