saxikathYes, I did go swimming. I'm going again tonight. Rawr!
I was thinking about doing one of the "Walking to Rivendell"-type things for keeping track of my progress (or, in my case, perhaps "Walking to Santiago" would be better), but the problem is, swimming mileage is so much lower for the same amount of workout. (i.e., yesterday I swam half a mile in about half an hour, and it was a pretty solid workout.) So tracking by mileage is not going to be very motivational. At this rate, it'd take me about three years to get to Rivendell! So I need to find some different motivator, or work out some equivalence between amount swum and equivalent miles walked.
