Deep thoughts on a cold summer evening alone at home with my dad

Recently I came to realize that we are destined to change. This may have sounded extremely stupid, but I think that the purpose of changing and the developing of our mind and wishing things were just like they used to be is to understand the importance of each moment we spend with the ones we love and living life even more to the fullest. And I don't mean running around with your immense amount of swag yelling YOLO, because honestly, I get the chills when I'm with my friends having real quality time.
So every time I feel down, and I think about the good old days, and how awesome it would be if everyone was the same again, I realize that no, it wouldn't be that great. Because that just isn't the way it has to be.

The worst ones

The worst sets ever would involve long repetitions, say thirty 100s, bad enough, but with a twist. At the 50-meter mark you'd have to climb out of the pool, then start the remaining 50 from the blocks. One of my favorite sets, Bob likes to say, because getting out of the pool and diving back in adds an extra component to the thing that' just brutal. After twenty, you're grabbing the block. You can't see straight. Things are blurry. You feel like you can't move.
But you can. That' what I came to understand. At that point it's pretty much just goals. If you want to meet your goals, this is what it takes.
