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 don't know which is worse... the thought of swimming a million yards, or actually keeping track of how much I swim every day.
You guys are all nuts, but congratulations on the accomplishment, that's definitely a lot of hard work.
I wanted to swim today, but none of my usual places were open. Santa Clara Swim Club, closed! San Jose State Aquatics Center, closed! The community centers near me, closed! Pisses me off. :bitching:
Should have driven up to Oakland and joined the Manatees at HNU. We had 8 swimmers at 8am and 9 at 9am (what a coincidence!). Plenty of space for you to have joined us.
Happy New Year.
2011 is so last year. Now I'm at 0.32% progress towards my goal for 2012! :banana: :banana: :banana:
Hahaha! I made it to .57%...or was it .057%? Barely had time to enjoy my TT Blogging award. You're only as good, I guess, as your next accomplishment.

Oh yeah!!, well here's mine:
You'll need to pick up the pace to achieve your goal this year:
My goal pace: 1.37 miles required as of today to reach my goal by the end of the event
My actual current pace: 0.00 miles as of today
:bliss:
Already starting off in the hole!! Same as last year, I'll build it up, summer will set me back, and then I'll try to climb the mountain in the fall/winter to scrape by in the end of December (hopefully) :)
Hi, Elaine! I'm slow - it takes me 12+ hours a week to swim. And congrats on all your yardage! Happy New Year and a toast to another year of swimming!:chug:
Happy New Year to you! And, thanks!! Here's a :chug: to you for your fantastic year and great success! Good luck this year! :cheerleader:
I did 100x100scm on the 31st to boost my final numbers
446.91 miles swum (=786,554 yards, =719,225 meters)
but I was hoping to get to 800,000m, but work got in the way. the drops in Feb and Mar where tappering for nationals. the drop in april was the birth of my 3rd daugther.

in sept my project hit some major road blocks and I put in 120hrs of OT for the second half of the year, as well as, 18 road trips. the only reason my totals for dec were up is I got in 30,400 in the last 6 days of the year ;)
Signed up for 2012 and with this years experience I have set my goal for 700,000m. I'll get a good buffer this week swimming 5x ~5000m with the kids.
Congratulations! You are on pace for achieving your goal this year:
My goal pace: 2.38 miles required as of today to reach my goal by the end of the event
My actual current pace: 2.80 miles as of today
