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?
I started using both GTD and the FLOG shortly after joining usms and starting to swim again. Started the blog a few weeks back and have enjoyed that too. I like the FLOG's tracking features for multipsorts/workouts and the GTD goal ahead/behind feature. Last year when i started in the middle i didn't catch up to my goal until new year's eve.
I actually swam new year's eve at a pool where the A/C and chlorine levels were making me and few other swimmers cough. I kept swimming when i knew i should leave just to reach that damn goal - really crazy what motivation (with stubborness) comes from a simple goal.
I also like checking what others in my age range are doing GTD (noticed lately im hanging with Alan Stark; good company i think. Set my goal to at least reach the nike mesh swim bag this year, and im a few miles ahead at this point.
