Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Location: Sacramento, California, United States

Day 184: 600 Miles!

On August 1st, I reached my goal of swimming 500 miles in one year.  I had started on October 2nd, 2013, so I finished two full months earlier than I had expected. 

At that point, I decided to try for 600 miles, which meant I needed to swim 100 miles in eight weeks or roughly 12+ miles per week.  I ended up swimming 14+ miles every week in August, and I thus reached my new 600 mile goal last week, on September 26th.  Yay!  Go me!

My reward for reaching this goal is shopping for some boots -- part of the annual quest once the seasons change.
