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?
My friend John Kuzmkowski, who is currently in second place: John Kuzmkowski M58 ALMT 1,524.40
would probably answer some of Bill's questions. John is not a terribly speedy swimmer but he is a very dedicated and indefatigable one. I am fairly certain he swims almost every day in the early morning, and does so in a steady fashion for 90 minutes or perhaps longer, before going to work. He's the owner of a roofing company and is by no means retired. I don't think his swimming interferes with the rest of his life.
I, too, admire people with this much stamina and perseverance. I don't think my shoulders could hold out doing this much yardage, and I suspect my times in shorter races would be negatively impacted because when you are going exclusively for distance, it's hard to work in much real sprint or middle distance work.
That said, I'm off to burn some of the 17,832 calories I ate yesterday with a slow fat-burning il garbagio swim at the Y! Assuming, that is, my bulk does not displace all the water from the pool...see more at my vlog.
Yep, John is my one also and Darren Miller, who doesn't flog but trains long distance and works and does charity work, etc.
