Hi!
I joined the USMS FLOG (love the acronym...) at the end of January. I am excited about the prizes for various milestones! However, I noticed some people are already at 100 or 200 miles for the year. Holy moly! I thought I swam a lot! Are any of these people reading? Why such high yardage? How do you structure your week? Singles, doubles?
Intrigued.

Not going to reach my original goal either. Unfortunately I figured this out mid-summer. Why is it 500 seems so easy year after year, but 622 continues to elude me? Oh yeah. Chronic injuries and life outside of swimming. Oh well :)
Same with me. Last year, I beat my goal and hit 454 miles for the year, so I set 475 as my goal for this year. Injuries were a wake up call for me to lighten up on the yardage, however, so I backed my goal off to 425. I am currently at 377 miles and have no plans to revise my goal back up. If anything, an extra day off here and there is in order.
After Nationals, I went to visit the surgeon who operated on me ten years ago and received a stern lecture after the hugs and fun talk. If he has his way, my days of mega yardage and 2,000 yards of continuous butterfly are over if I plan to swim into old age.
