Just started a FLOG, to keep track of my training for an open water event (Cascade Lakes Swim Series, Elk Lake Oregon July 30-Aug 1). I didn't realize how much I really do swim til I saw it accumulate on my fitness log. If you are like me and need to have these goals to motivate you, try starting your FLOG and watch the miles add up!
Hey I got my 50 mile cap today too - maybe they send them out bulk mail. I started the FLOG in June while training for an open water event and it only took about six weeks to get 50 miles, did the OW now am swimming more mid distance so the second 50 is taking a little longer, but I am up to 85 miles as of this morning. Its fun to track the mileage!
We have a couple people on our team that live and die by the FLOG. One of my favorite rituals is updating it over my morning coffee. I'm currently trying to get out from behind, my goal is 365 miles for the year, and I didn't do much swimming this summer with the pool being closed... 5 miles behind! But the team starts again on Monday, so I see that goal in sight.
We have this one thing we like to say at the pool when we start to do extra yards just for the sake of it, and it's called "padding the FLOG."
