Exercise Type: Swim

Weather: Old Pool

Comments:
Today, my nerves had again reached the breaking point in my injury frustration. I did this harder than usual and managed to work through it despite my miserable state. My knee was bothering me more than usual all day today and it hurt some for the last 15 minutes or so of the swim.

Basically, what happens is:
1) I freak out about being hurt, getting mad at someone/the world/myself/does it even matter who?
2) I internalize this and get really down.
3) I decide I don't care about things I'd usually care about.
4) I start talking to someone who convinces me to keep going.
5) My rage receides for about a week.
6) Repeat steps 1-5 indefinitely while my knee remains the same.
