I didn’t sleep well last night, which made a convenient excuse to stay in bed and not swim this morning. When I did finally get up, I decided that I better take my gym clothes to work. It was Monday and on Monday we usually do a chest workout during lunch. As unusual as it was, Joe didn’t bring his gym clothes. I saw him in the kitchen around noon, firing up the microwave. I had 3 options. I could go lift with Alex. I could go Swim with Alex. I could blow the whole thing off and work through lunch. I decided to let Alex decide. I asked him if he wanted to go lift, thinking that if he wasn’t going, I wouldn’t go either. I think this is why you get people to go with you regularly. He was ready to go. He even had swimming stuff with him. Swimming sounded better than lifting weights, so we cruised past my apartment and grabbed my swimming stuff.

Alex is a good swimmer, but hasn’t been swimming regularly for a little while. I decided to modify the workout to something he would be able to do it. He pushed himself very hard and did quite well. Hopefully he’ll keep coming back.
