Yesterday I finished my 900th mile since I set a series of goals (about two and a half years ago) to keep myself inspired. Coincidentally that 900 miles is the same distance as it is across the Gulf of Mexico from St. Petersburg, FL (next to Tampa - see map) to Corpus Christi, TX. Google Maps shows the auto route - lots of turns. You can visualize my route on the map below by looking at the two cities (click on the "-" button in the top left corner of the map to see both FL and TX coasts). I went straight.

Congrats! That is amazing! How long did it take you to swim 900 miles??? I have goals for my swim career -- but they are only times. I am trying to get a 5:30:00 in my 5oo free. Do you have any tips for me?
ReplyDeleteI started tracking on Jan 2, 2007, usually swimming 1.5 miles per day (most weekdays), and try not to allow myself any lame excuses. If I miss a day, I try to make it up over the next week or so in additional distance (or perhaps adding a weekend swim). Advice I give anyone trying to establish any kind of workout routine is simple: make it what you do - by doing so, it will become so routine that you'll begin to hate the days you miss. Good luck!
