Yesterday’s swim was slower than my last long swim, but I slipped into that day dreamy not really thinking about anything state of mind more easily and effectively than I have before. I thought about our Catalina relay that’s coming up in a few weeks and how excited I am to cheer for my friends as we swim. I thought about a long swim I’ll be doing with my coach in a couple of weeks, and how thankful I am for his expertise, kindness, and patience.
For a brief time I worried about being tired for a race on Tuesday, but I tuned out the negative thoughts and focused back to where I presently was. I didn’t need to worry. I was exactly where I was supposed to be, and doing just what I was supposed to be doing.
