On advice of a friend I started tracking my year to date yardage this year as a motivator to get the pool as often as possible, and to try to hit 1 million yards for the year. I've never done this in the 35 or so years I've been swimming but so far its been working pretty good; I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
anyone else keep track of their yardage through out the year?

I'm at 236 as of yesterday. A little short of my goal of 560 for the year, but I'm on target to catch up in the next two weeks.
But now that I realize how close 560 miles is to a million yards (567 miles), I want to hit that! It would take me a few more months to catch up...
Even though I know GTD is just for fun, I take it too seriously. I get really frustrated when I have to taper.
The high today is supposed to be 107. Probably a good day to sneak in a few extra yards--I definitely don't feel like doing much other than swimming when it gets this hot.
