I returned to school from my winter break on January 9th. I had two swim meets since, on the 11th and the 17th. In my last post, I talked about my goal to stay fit this year and how I haven't worked out AT ALL over the break. So, you can assume that I swam poorly at the meets.
Throughout my events, I kept feeling my legs become stiff. The voice inside my head is saying "I'm tired, I need to rest", but I know I have to push past that voice and keep going until the end. My coach likes to give my team occasional pep talks and every time, he would tell us to remind ourselves the same thing...
"I won't give up. I'm too strong."
HOWEVER, since I started doing nightly stretches, I've noticed that (even though it was one practice) at my recent dryland practice, I wouldn't quit during the exercises. Or at least quit mid-exercise for ones that I usually would. For example, I wouldn't be able to push myself during burpees. But for some reason, I just didn't stop, even though my legs were starting to stiffen up.

By definition: forward or onward movement toward a destination.
A rewarding experience to see how far you've come and improved from the start. Unless you've set a start and end date, the progress doesn't end. Keep going. So tell me, what is your destination?
A quick motivational-ish post to start your day! Love you guys, till next time!😘
