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. ;)
hey salty,
see you're in austin
wonder who you are?
do your train with longhorn?
forgive yourself for skipping
somes athletes with injuries show up for practice but don't do anything that hurts the injury,
got shoulder pain, kick the whole practice
got a bum knee, don't kick, soft push offs
adjust work outs as needed
tell your coach, OK here's the deal I ...
why do you feel guilty?
isn't guilt like when you do something bad, you know, but your mom doesn't
the truth is, in masters everyones busy, no one cares if you miss a practice or two,
just do
what you can,
when you can
how you can
I prefer not to miss because it might make my goal less likely to happen. Plus I feel better when I swim
Salty Be happy don't worry
