People who are already over 100 and 200 miles for the year?!

9 months total = 253 miles when hip surgery put a stop to all swimming for the year. May 2014 be better for me & all of you as well.

Made 750 miles yesterday ... 1st summer that i've ever seriously swam, including back in the day in college ... its back to sailing again this summer so i'll be adjusting down to 500 miles (do like the free suit) ... i spent 434 hrs in the pool ... somebody's FLOG was 2200 miles ...think of that, its probably 1200 hrs of pool time ... 100hrs/month 25hrs/week ... that is simply amazing !... literally "bless his heart" !

I should go past my million meter (621.4 mi) goal tomorrow morning. I'm so excited I'm just about giddy. What should I do when I hit it?!? Most impressive! I put that as my original goal this year & had to pull back when I injured my shoulder and lost my mojo. This year I'm going to try for something between my 500 miles and a million meters -- a million YARDS!

It never crossed my mind that people might have a distance goal, until reading this thread. After doing so, I still can't imagine having one.

Just noticed this: Swimmers who have achieved the 100 miles milestone (1): Date Swimmer Age Club 01/14 John Kuzmkowski M60 ALMT Wow! Impressive swimming, John. If he swam all 14 days of the year so far that's an average of better than 12k (yards) per day!

Impressive swimming, John. If he swam all 14 days of the year so far that's an average of better than 12k (yards) per day! I'm reading Born to Run right now. I recommend it to anybody who loves distance, whether you're a swimmer, runner, cyclist, triathlete, or other ultra-distance athlete. Introducing Ann Trason, one of many ultra runners in the book, the author writes It wasn't long before she was defusing stress in advance by jogging the nine miles to the lab each morning. And once she realized that her legs were fresh again by punch-out time, she began running back home again as well. Oh, and what the heck; as long as she was racking up eighteen miles a day during the workweek, it was no big deal to unwind on a lazy Saturday with twenty at a pop... ... or twenty-five ... ... or thirty ... One Saturday, Ann got up early and ran twenty miles. She relaxed over breakfast, then headed back out for twenty more. She had some plumbing chores around the house, so after finishing run No. 2, she hauled out her toolbox and got to work. By the end of the day, she was pretty pleased with herself; she'd run forty miles and taken care of a messy job on her own. So as a reward, she treated herself to another fifteen miles.
