I try to get in 4 to 6 swim workouts a week, but did not go this morning because I felt a little "twinge" in my left shoulder all day yesterday and I wanted to give it a rest for today. This means that I will be off two days in a row (I can't go on Wednesdays) and I hate that. I have been trying to give myself a break because I know I made the right decision, but I have been feeling guilty all day for missing! Am I crazy or what? Does anyone else give themselves these kinds of guilt trips when missing a workout? Is there something inherent about swimming that makes one obsessive compulsive about missing? Just wondering if I'm the only overly type-A character out here. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and psychological support. ;)

I'd argue that there might be something obsessive/compulsive that has made you a swimmer :) I rolled over and turned off the alarm clock this morning instead of getting up to swim because my shoulder has one of those funny "twinges" right now. It is really mentally difficult to take a day off, though. I've gotten much better about it the last year or so, but I think the chlorine addiction is pretty normal (around here, at least).
