As I entered my yardage in my Fitness Log today, I noticed that we are 20% through the year. I also noticed that I’m about 10 miles behind my goal pace. My new mini goal is to get back on pace by the end of March… I want that Nike draw string bag!!!
I’m finding that having a Goal and the annoying reminder “You'll need to pick up the pace to achieve your goal this year:” is actually working to get me to the pool on days that I would in the past have skipped.
How about you?

Several team mates have suggested that I add a "sarcasm mode" to the goal status messages. Apparently they would rather see a message like "Maybe you should try some actual swimming in order to achieve you goal" when they are behind goal pace and "With such a wimpy goal, of course you are on pace" when ahead of goal pace. We've talked about gathering a bunch of sayings and randomly displaying them if you want the sarcasm.
I was thinking maybe we could enter personalized goal status messages (for example, "get your fat bum off the couch and go swim"), but I like the idea of random insults better!
