Yikes! I haven't been to the pool since the swim meet (2 weeks ago). Today I got in the water thinking I would swim about 2-3000m. As I was getting close to 3000m, I decided to push for 4000m. And as I was approaching 4000m, I thought, why the hell not? I'm going for 5000m today! I might not get to the pool again until next weekend, and I was feeling good! Yeah!!! The brillant thing about being your own coach, is that if you start a set thinking "Oh, I'll keep it easy 2x250 pull. That sounds like a good way to end the workout." And then as you finish your 250, you just decide, why stop? And the 500 comes and goes and your still feeling good, so you just keep pushing it! It's great! But, these days are few and far between. Usually it's the other way around. Usually, I have high hopes and wimp out early on! Gambattemasu!
