The 2011 Go the Distance fitness event is now open. More than 2,200 members participated in 2010; why don't you join them for 2011?
Go The Distance is an online self-directed fitness program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. Swimmers may strive to reach a number of distance milestones and automatically receive recognition for their achievements and awards at certain milestones.
To get started, you will need to set up your FLOG (Fitness Log) on the USMS web site. Instructions can be found here:

Remember, I don't have a paying job AND I completely crash at 9 p.m. Energizer bunny life... only sometimes. The rest of the time I fake it. :)
I'll bet by changing your focus you'll become even stronger, even in events you're not expecting. That's what happened with my running. I stopped doing triathlons, cut down my distance, did more quality, and got more fit overall. I'm running faster at, ahem, 45 than I EVER have.
Even still, you are amazing! I'm gonna attempt to start getting up early again (albeit not at 5AM) to get my workouts done in the AM. So I'll get back to the bed by 10PM thing too.
Just like you said, I just want to go for a little more all around fitness, have fun with it, get a little leaner and stronger. I was getting to the point of burning out a bit on the swimming. Don't think I'll ever get back to being a runner like I used to be due to my lower back, but just want to do enough to maybe make a 10K sometime.
