Giving Up

That title got your attention, huh? No, I'm not talking about anything drastic. Storytime!

I was swimming at swim practice today (no surprise there...) and man, it was hard! I was having a difficult time, cause we had to do a bunch of 100s and there were flip turns which take a lot of energy out of me and anyways. It sucked. As I was swimming and swimming, I thought about how nice it would be to just quit. I would be able to go home after school and relax, no more painful workouts. It sure sounds nice! But what use would that be? What would I accomplish then? There's no sense giving up when you're doing something worthwhile. That swimming sure hurts during practice, but hey, afterwards it feels great (THANK YOU, endorphins!). Seriously, I feel fantastic after most swim practices. So even though swim practice hurts, a lot, it will be worth it in the end.

And if I don't end up with a six-pack by the end of the season, I'll be mad.
