My goal was to make 1,000 yards today. I was unfortunately stymied just before reaching it when, at the 750 yard mark, they closed the lane I was in so they could do a swimming class. I managed to sneak in one more down-n-back, so I got 800 yards today, which gives me a grand total of 2600 yards so far. That leaves 1,757,400 yards to go.

By the way, I’ve noticed something about gyms and the YMCA. It’s something I already knew about, but which I have been reminded of during my past week of workouts. Everyone who works out weekly goes to the gym on Mondays and Tuesdays. By Wednesday, the population tapers, such that by the time you get to Friday there ain’t nobody in there. That meant, of course, today being a Monday, that the pool was packed.

I figure it has something to do with the weekend and how most people wanna get a head start on it so if they go to the gym it’s in the morning (on Friday) or earlier in the week. Plus I blame Bush.
