I want to...but I don't...but I do...

RUN 6.6 miles in 59 mins, 8:55m/m pace with fresh light snow
SWIM 50 mins and 2100y, 3x500 locomotive swim

I wake up and see fresh snow on the ground. I want to run...but I don't want to be cold. I don't want to risk driving on the unplowed streets...but I want to see my friends. I don't want to run fast...but I want to improve my running speed. I want to hold DC to his coach-Rx'd 9m/m pace...but I want to drop back and ease up. I want to feel the wind on my face...but I'm hunched already from being cold all the time.

After the run I head straight to the pool. Again, and as always seems, I'm cold. I want to run to the hot shower...but I want to be in control and build tolerance. I don't want to get in the "cold" pool...but I want to get this swim done (really, I do). I want to stand in the hot shower for another 10 mins...but I don't want to look back on the morning and regret that lost time. I don't want to walk down the hallway to the pool...but I want to see if I can get any better with my swim stroke after watching a few videos.
