It's just so easy to not swim. I'm not swimming right now! Running and biking are a little tougher, because they're a lot less involved than swimming. Sometimes you have to run a few blocks to catch a bus. And sometimes it's really the fastest, easiest way to bike over to the corner store. It is never simply a matter of convenience to swim. It's either necessary or it's planned.
I never feel like swimming. It seems like such a hassle to change all the way into my suit, take a shower, swim, take a shower, dry off, and change back into street clothes. I've been running outdoors more which keeps that part of my routine interesting. But the outdoor jog around town, swinging by the gym on my way back is merely a perfunctory card-swiping experience rather than a real work out. I'm certainly not going to swim at the gym if I can't even muster the determination to be there for more than 2 minutes.
So how do I do it? How do I get geared up about swimming?
