Yesterday, I said that I needed to get my swim done today; no excuses. Well, I was awoken today by a massive windstorm. It lasted for hours, and I was nearly knocked off my feet at one point. It finally died down, and I had about an hour and a half until I needed to be on a zoom meeting for work. I told myself "no excuses". I went to the beach, and I saw how choppy the water was. I got in anyway. I've never felt more confident in the water. I reached 50 strokes frontcrawl like it was nothing. I only got 650 meters or so today, but I'm confident that a lot of that is because I intentionally swam against the current most of the time. I caught a mouthful of water several times, but I saw it as more of an inconvenience than a cause for concern. The bike back was 3 miles of driving rain, with a detour for construction. I felt fantastic.
The rest of the day was full; meeting, coffee, biking, volunteering at the flu clinic, etc. I sometimes think that just getting up and moving early sets you up to accomplish more during the day. It establishes a momentum.
I was about to type "hoping for more momentum tomorrow". But hope isn't what makes the momentum happen.
