I was at work yesterday and got asked an unusual question: How do I stay motivated to swim hours a day, every day, year after year?
I told the person that I would get back to them while I mulled over the answer. I thought back to this forum and suspect that most of the folks here compete and the competition motivates them. Me, I don’t compete, in fact, I only know how to swim one stroke, at one speed, never stopping. I guess that I just like to swim and be alone for a couple of hours every day with my own thoughts. While that works for me, I doubt it will prove useful for many others. So, how about the rest of you: What motivates you to keep swimming?

I have a sedentary day job so if I don't stay in an exercise routine I could wind up weighing 215 pounds again like I did in May (I'm 187 now). I never seemed to have time until one day I decided enough was enough and made fitness a priority in my life. I don't miss lugging those 28 pounds of fat around with me everywhere.
