Get off the wall and start swimming!
Iāll try to get back into the swing of things. Can only get in the water once this week, but it will be at Miami University so I am psyched - the nicest pool I have ever seen.
So, Iām shooting for 30,000 yds. this month.
Thanks TC.
I absolutely, positively, 100% guarantee that I will not swim any less than I did in January!
LOL! Iām with you on this one. Iām in for ohhhh, 50k in 3 swims a week. It will definitely be more than my goosegg for January!
Iām in. Once a week, an average of 2,000 yards each time, is sufficient for me for now, as Iām training for the St. Louis Marathon and swim and bike just to break the monotony. Every Friday, during my lunch, I hit the pool. Yeah.
I am in for Feb as well. Hoping to get 50k on 5 swims per wk.

Wasnāt one of my better sessions but I got through it.
Iām in for 3X a week, not sure of a distance goal since Iām swimming with a Masters program, Iām averaging around 3000 a day, we have 4 swims a week scheduled but weather is unpredictable, Saturdays swim was cancelled because it was 30 degrees outside and our coach doesnāt want anyone getting sick. We are pretty much slaves to the weather since it is a outdoor pool.
So far today I have: run 7.5 mi, rode 45 minutes, drove to work (an hour), worked 8-12, just got back to school. Class 1-2, and I have somewhere to be at 5. I am tired. But I WILL swim today I will I will I willā¦

Since I managed to make it to the pool tonight, I figured I would sign up for the challenge! My goal is 3x per week - which is what my coach has been prescribing since November, but I have been totally inconsistent with it. I am great about running and biking, but swimmingā¦ not so good. Not sure about the distance goal, but I will think about and get back to everyone!
Good luck!

Good morning to you too.
I have a spot in my knee thatās bugging me so this morning I woke up at the usual 4:15 am, got some work done on my thesis (itās swimming related!), and now I am going to the pool. I canāt remember the last morning that I woke up and swimming was the first workout of the day. (Yes, I wish I could run. This should only take a day or so to heal though, is just an irritated tendon).
In the meantime, itās quarter to six and I have already gotten some homework done 
So the plan is: swim until my shoulders get tired, do the baby weights, then maybe walk a bit.
2000 yds! Felt MUCH better than yesterday.
do they have a masters swimming at UM?
Iāll take part Iām in for 90K

You sound oddly threatening, ā¦like a āTaxi Driver.ā
Went to the pool last night and I was the only one in the pool with a drivers license ;0 I did my 500 yd warm up and Coach Steve said he was throwing me in with the High School kids, 800 yds of kicking drills, then 6X100 on 1:30, followed by 6X100 on 1:40, followed by 400 yds of kicking, with a 500 yd pull, then 300 cool down, so 3700 yds, the cold front hit Florida today so Iām not sure if the pool will be open tonight. I know 40 degrees isnāt too cold when you are from up North but here in Florida that is freezing! And I did get an hour in the gym this morning followed by 30 minutes of running.
im in, today was my first swim since imfl. 1200 free, 400 kick.
Miami University of Ohio. Iām just in the area for a few days, but yes, they have masterās swims there, and even triathlon-specific pool sessions for students, staff, faculty, and visitors. Kinda cool - wish they would have had that 20 years ago when I was a studentā¦
