Workout
the joys of a workout partner
i tend to like to workout by myself.
i like being able to focus on my goal for the day and not get distracted by someone else, mainly talking to someone else.
this however, does not hold true all of the time.
i swam with my friend nina again today.
we usually swim separate lanes. but, even when we share a lane, it is like swimming with a stranger. we both do our own things, maybe exchanging a few words here and there if we both happen to take a break at the same time.
today was different though. we were both spent, but managed to swim an extra 5 laps on kickboards while chatting it up.
all of the sudden it no longer became a workout, just a hang out. nice.

I'm with you on prefering to work out by myself. But, it is rare and wonderful to find a workout partner who is at about the same level and can push you to do more.
