Feeling Guilt from Missing Workout-- Normal?

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 get very cranky when I miss a workout.If I have shoulder twinges I swim one armed with more kicking only sets.I don't particularly recommend that however.Remember "normal" is just the middle of the Bell Shaped Curve and a synonym for average.You are not normal,you are a swimmer(which is much better.)
