1. You open the door to the pool and get that first whiff of chlorine and think to yourself, "I love the smell of chlorine in the morning!"
2. Your new issue of Swimmer Magazine arrives :bliss: and you immediately sit down and read it cover to cover (including the ads!). But, then, the realization sets in that now you have to wait two months until the NEXT issue arrives.
3. You find yourself counting strokes instead of sheep to fall asleep at night. Then, just when you're about to fall asleep, instead of your leg twitching a little bit, it does a full whip kick :afraid:, and you ride the glide to slumberland... :bed:
Now it's your turn...
....you never got a tattoo because the idea of taking a couple of weeks off while it "sets" is just too crazy to contemplate
...you go to the Y for a workout even though you just left the salon (and your hair looks "gorge-y") because you promised yourself you'd swim 5 times that week.
When you are bored in a meeting,instead of doodling you figure your ideal splits for the 200 BR.
Hey, at your next meeting, will you figure out mine? My goal is to get to the "A" category of motivational times; 3:16.89. :D
You keep a meet calendar three years in advance ... you know the FINA Masters World Championships will be in Riccione, Italy in 2012 ... you've googled the pool ... and are already saving vacation days for the trip ...

I'm in trouble. I do this all the time when I'm bored at work (I'm self-employed).

Thank you for your response, Michael. You just won me my bet! :applaud: My husband didn't think my thread idea was worthy enough to post, so he bet that in a 48 hour period, no more than four responses would come in from those other than my "forum buddies" (The forumites I met at Nationals who I communicate with on the forums: Ande, Allen Stark, SwimShark, SwimStud, and Jayhawk.) I bet I would receive five or more responses in that time period. So, even though Allen Stark responded (and his response doesn't count- sorry, Allen!), I still win. :D
For those who haven't responded, I don't want to rub it in, but I DO want to hear from you. I LIKE my thread idea, because it's a positive, fun one, I think. I really would like to hear what you all have to say! :banana:
