This year has been the first year of my three swimming so far that I've kept a log of my yardage. I didn't realize it at the time, but in doing the math this late night/early morning, I crossed 1,000,000 yards on Wednesday, November 16th. It happened sometime during my early morning workout at Santa Clara Swim Club, probably at the exact same moment I was resting at the wall and the flying hand of the hapless lady I shared a lane with whacked my nose! My nose was sore for the rest of the day.
These are my totals per month:
Jan: 100,700
Feb: 106,750
Mar: 110,350
Apr: 121,840
May: 68,261
Jun: 106,948
Jul: 79,725
Aug: 50,950
Sep: 107,100
Oct: 63,850
Nov: 111,000 (so far)
Has anyone else crossed a million yards this year? Getting close?
I think it's wonderful when sprinters finally admit to this.:)
I'm with Speedo on this one. How cool would that be? I have heard of gyms that have self-powered TV's; they only work if you walk on a treadmill or pedal a bike to provide the energy to run them. Hmmm, if we could only do that sort of thing with swimmers...
:bow: to anyone who can swim that many miles in one year! :applaud: And, Chris, I'm a sprinter who will join Speedo in admitting to this, as well. :agree:
P.S. I've been a fan of loooooong distance swimmer Lynne Cox, since watching her train as a teenager in the waters off Long Beach and Seal Beach, California, as well as running on the soft sand of East Beach, Long Beach. I was just a kid in awe... And, as an adult, I have enjoyed her books. :bow: :cheerleader:
