12 miles

This month, I started with a goal of swimming 12 miles in January. Since I only started swimming again in December, 12 miles felt like a little bit of a stretch, but one that I could manage.

I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of the beta testing at www.bia-sport.com, a woman-centric workout and activity tracking site. One of the best things about this site is that it is goal oriented. So I entered in my goal of 12 miles (20,000 yards to be precise, which is just over 12 miles), and every time I logged a workout, it added it to my monthly total. It was as gratifying to see the total yardage needed to reach my goal shrink every time I swam as it was to see my total for the month grow. Talk about an easy way to stay motivated!

And this morning, after I logged in my workout this morning, got to see “Goal Completed – Congratulations” printed under my goal instead of my running yardage count.

Satisfaction, indeed.

And now I have a week to decide what February’s goal is going to be.
