I haven't boosted my yardage for a while, and I've been feeling healthier (maybe even full of vim and vigor, for all you V-word-seeking Scrabble types) so I went up to 3,250 on Thursday. I think I could have gone to 3,500, one of my interim goals, but why throw the dice unnecessarily?
As far as a long-term goal, I'm not so sure. I can easily do two miles (70 laps) in the time available (90 minutes). Thursday, I swam 65 laps in 65-70 minutes, so maybe I'll shoot for 80, which is 4,000 yards, each day. That would be more than 11 miles a week, which if my handy-dandy multiplier works is about the equivalent of a 45-mile week running. Not too shabby.
Of course, there's always the velocity problem, but I think maybe I need to have more than 13 months of swimming under my belt before I start to worry too much about how fast/slow I'm going.
