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.

I'm still 30 or so miles away...which sounds easy, but it may not be either.
I like your chances better than mine! I still need another 87 miles. How many days are left in the year? Uh oh...
This is my first full year with Master's and am loving it. Set a goal for 300 thinking it'd be reasonable. Looks like I'll hit it by the end of this month. Hope to go for a higher number next year now that I know it's do-able and I have different goals for next year. This is has been a lot of fun.
Sort of off topic - who has some of the more thoughtful/fun/interesting blogs here?
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 :)
Celestial, I'm curious regarding the significance of 622?
I made my 500 mile goal earlier this month. Certainly, helped not taking the summer off.
My goal for next year is 569 = 1,000,000 yards
I hit my (revised) goal of 425 on Christmas Eve. :wiggle: My original goal was 475 figuring I could make it after hitting 454 last year. After a lecture from my surgeon after Nationals, however, I revised it down at his recommendation. I think I'll stick with 425 again for 2014, as long as I there are no new physical developments to add to the growing list! :afraid:
