One of those days

You know how some days you just do NOT have it in you?

Yeah, today was one of those days in the pool.

I planned to swim a mile (1,800 yards or 72 lengths, for those who are not aware). My first quarter mile was already way off pace (i.e. slow), whereas generally my swims are about as well-paced as my runs... which is to say I go out too fast. I knew I was in trouble at that point but kept plugging along. Finally, after the third quarter mile I decided to stop the suffering and got out of the pool. 1,350 yards instead of 1,800, and probably my slowest time in two years.

Oh well. Saturday's swim will be better!
