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 will sign up for GTD probably for 2012. need to renew my USMS membership first, haven't done enough meets of late to make it worthwhile.
I am going to hijack this thread. :hijack:
Your comment indicates that you don't feel a membership in USMS is "worthwhile" unless you compete in meets. We hear this comment a lot and are trying to add value to our memberships for those who don't compete in meets.
One of our current benefits is your own online fitness log (FLOG) and the ability to include your FLOG totals in the Go The Distance program. You indicated that you are tracking your yardage on your own. If you were tracking it through the Go The Distance program you would have already won a swim cap (50 miles), a $5.00 gift certificate (100 miles), and a mesh bag (250 miles).
Other current member benefits include:
Access to daily, written workouts created by four USMS coaches
A subscription to SWIMMER magazine
Subscriptions to two monthly e-newsletters (one for members, another for coaches)
What other benefits could we offer that would make you consider rejoining USMS?
