I hadn't been keeping track but certainly will.  I have a big 'ole goose egg myself.

How about we report totals each Monday for the previous Sun-Sat?  This week let's do month to date totals.  Sound good?

Thanks for doing this...    it's a great help.  I hope it doesn't take much of your time....

March 1st-9th 4425 yards.   Don't forget March 1st was a Sat.  Might as well include March 1st with this total.

I have yet to even hit the water.  My coach has me doing some bike time trials next month and between prep for that and rehabbing the foot, the pool is elusive. 

I'm going to talk to him about the next two weeks and see what I can do about creating at least a 2 week goal.  I hate missing out on a good competition! 

Anyone have any races coming up.  Maybe a 5k, 10K something like that.  With all your training, i always found it fun to try a early spring 5k, just to get that race feeling back in me.

I have a half marathon coming up at the end of April.  I am planning on doing a 5k on April 19th.

Josh, nice work of the swim.  As you figured out swimming is all about technique, it takes a long time to get good technique, it's not something that comes over night.  It's took me years to improve my technique.  Using youtube is a great idea, i can remember watching people swim to help my stroke.  Rotating is a good thing, don't think it's a bad thing, cause remember you want to be as narrow as you can be when in the water. You don't want to swim with your shoulders facing straight ahead, cause you are creating to much resistant.  When you roatate, you are creating less resistace.  Does that make sense???  Don't worry about the bi-lat breating.  I would focus on breathing on one side until you feel you are a better swimming then work in some bi-lat breathing.  Your swimming will come around just stick with it, it just takes some time.  just my 2 cents. 

I've got two things for you guys, first is a swim totals update.  Just a few days left in the month so I thought I'd prime the competitive pump:

John: Actual 9225, Goal 17000  % to goal 54%, Erin:  Actual 10700, Goal 14630 % to goal 73%, Josh: Actual 4500, Goal 15,000 % to goal 30%, Jess: Actual 80 minutes, Goal 5 hours 17%

Missing totals for Jennie and Marty.  I'll update next week.

Next, I'm in for a run challenge.  I've officially been discharged from PT.  Things are perfect but do seem to be in working order.  Are we thinking time or distance?

I was able to reach my swim goal for the month of March, i got in 2300 last night which put me over the top.

Bring on the run challenge...   I am going to do miles.  I am shooting for 85 miles.

Josh, my friend, the tally tracking is all yours!  This month is shaping up to be a busy one here with my charity work so thanks!

As for the run, well, friends, it looks as if I have reinjured the paw breaking in a new pair of 2x4s, I mean shoes.  I got discharged from PT last week and strapped on my new Asic Gel Cumulous, went for 5.5 run/walk and have ended up back where I started.  I'm going to call the doc today to see what's what so until then, I won't be running.  Seriously discouraged but just need to find out what's wrong and how to fix it (again). 

I'll be cheering from the sidelines!

HA!  I should run for hours because I would rack up lots ... not many miles ... but lots of time out on the road

My goal will be 18 miles this month. not sure how realistic that is as I am having some foot issues and mental issues with getting out there and running
