I got a cold and it will take more days until I can get back into the water.
I had 2 wonderful flowy fast swims of 2000 in 50 last Sunday and Monday. They were so much fun!
I have to pauseā¦
Whats somehow good for my way of recoveryā¦
Cause my mind is also slowing down.
Had some real hard feelings to work through.
Had some reflection about my pool boy (lol) flirt and more reflections and more and some outer view advisesā¦
Itās good to recognize falling back into patterns. And stop plans.
I deserve better
Am okay with pausing, as I still c my 2023 swimming goal of 365 km manageable!
Already have 330 and was 152 hours
in water this year
I hit the pool at 7am this morning, and it was of course, GLORIOUS. Iāve decided to get in the pool and work through some of my issues and what went wrong. I can think very clear in the pool. I want to get off work and head back up there, but i need to start lifting weights to get my body together, probably put in some work and hit the pool again in the morning.
Took my kiddoās to the dentist this morning, then i had a choice, run back to work and do nothing pending, or get a quick swim/lift in before lunch? Got me a good little swim in today, itās funny, it doesnāt take much lifting weights to burn calories thatās for sure. Thatās not a real 28 minutes either, i didnāt lift that long and it felt good. Iām going to incorporate that too, just a quick lifting session every single day.
I realy need to say that I am fucked up about pausing! This morning I had sore throutā¦ Soā¦ Pausing! I am pausing since 2 weeks now!
Maybe a lesson to learn. Pausing during hard times. I would realy need my tool and passion SWIMMING. To feel my body. To restart my mind. To be in flow.
I am pausing as well. Still havenāt fully recovered after my cold. I am going to be so out of breath when I start again
Btw I love that you can book lanes @Tragicfarinelli. How many people per lane is it usually? Here you just have to hope for a somewhat empty spot in the swimmers jam and snatch it fast when you see it.
About 6 per lane and itās 27 yards long. It still feels busy if we donāt judge our speed correctly. Iām a middle laner and I get the fast and the slow with meā¦.
I am back in the gameā¦
2,5 weeks with the flue and a hard life event.
You canāt imagine how amazing it was to enter the water and smash some lanes.
Contrary to my pushy mentality, I made a bit lessā¦ 1500 and 1800 meters. All the procedure, views, hot showerā¦ Wuhf. Donāt ever question why we love swimming
I watched deep down in the jump pit, but no turtle around
I had 2 little sips of wine few days ago. It was shit. I reseted my timer to be transparent with it. Was going through some hard cravings immediately. Decided yesterday to go on with the sober way. The work of refuge recovery helped me once more. Still working on the excersiceā¦ Itās a process.
Itās been a terrible week for me, I swam once i think on monday. I can 100% feel it, without my sanctuary, routine, iāve fallen pretty hard this week.
