Okay, I managed to tear some ligaments in my leg so I have to bail on the running challenge and I'm going to join you water lovers. Keep in mind I've done 350 yards so far this month and don't usually swim unless in a race, so be gentle. But. . . since all I'm allowed to do is swim now (which is pretty much my definition of h#ll, btw), I figure an avg of 2K/day for the rest of the month is reasonable.

So my goal will be 30K. Yards. ('cause that'd be less than using meters, I believe <grin>)

back in tonight after a few days off.

8,300 + 3,550 = 11,850

After 3,100 I did a timed 200 in 2:37! That's a friggin' 33 second PR! Swimming rocks!

6300 tonight.

47,050 total

I have yet to try that drill, I'll try it out tomorrow morning.

No swim for me today. 45* in Maine in December, took the bike out instead!!! And had a near miss with a car, but we're both okay - I have a small scrape on my knee.

Tigerchik, put me down for another 3500m so far this week which brings me to 11,000m since Dec 1. If I can keep this pace I might go beyond my 15,000m goal and hit 20,000m for the month!
