Hi everyone, any advice is appreciated... I'm signed up for a few open water swims this summer, but I haven't been able to get my motivation up to swim lately. It's been months, really...and I LOVE open water. I want to do well! What's wrong with me? How do I bust out of this swimming funk?? :badday:
I found when I got into your situation it was actually everything else in my life that was pulling me in every direction but the pool.
I decided that no matter how much extra work I did before going home there was still going to be work to do the next day, and that made it easier to turn the computer off and go home.
I talked to my wife about how hard it is to go to the pool and swim, if I can't leave on time with out feeling the urge to stay home to do something else. so we try to do everything we need to do before 19:00 so I can leave home at 19:30 with out thinking I have left something undone, or too much for her to take care of.
now I have that feeling back that I can do more.
