– It’s cold.
– It’s dark.
– The pool is probably closed.
– I have a lot of other shit to do.
– It’s too late for a swim and I’m tired.
– It’s too early for a swim and I’m tired.
– Who needs swimming anyway.
– It’s a rest week and I shouldn’t waste energy swimming during a rest week.
– I just did a hard workout and nailed it, so I deserve to not have to swim.
– I just did a hard workout and bombed it, so I deserve to not have to swim.
– My back hurts.
– My stomach hurts.
– Which brings us to yesterday: I ate a hamburger and fries and KitKat bites too close to my run and had to take way too many bathroom stops during the run and now I feel really sick to my stomach and should probably lay down instead of swim.

There’s always a good reason not to go for a swim! My least favourite form of exercise, maybe waterproof ipod and ear buds would help.
you guys are killing me! ironically, post IM I wake up and think, “I WANT TO GO and swim today” – literally every day at 5am. No sh*t! I am nuts.
PS. AND it is COLD here, 28F this am.

[…] 3,000y at Masters. Not the worst I’ve ever swum, mostly just a bunch of 300s in 4:15-4:25 with some hard 75s and stuff after. Swimming is sort of hard and I hate it. […]
[…] For about two weeks, I’ve been sick to my stomach. Eating makes me feel nauseous. Not eating makes me feel nauseous. It’s been pretty much constant since the day I had a big hamburger out in Pt. Reyes at then went for a run (with many bathroom stops). […]
[…] Rode 1:00 easy. One of these days was supposed to be swimming, but it’s too cold for swimming. […]
