truepennyWhile Project Valkyrie has not stopped, I did, several months ago, quit using the rowing machine--for a variety of reasons, all of which were problems with me, not problems with it. I've been using the EA Active Sports program for the Wii as my regular exercise, plus a dressage lesson once a week (and if you think that's not exercise, I have news for you) and walks with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorthaw on the weekends and mucking around in the yard, etc. etc. But nothing that could take over for the metrics. Which is important only insofar as it gives me some tangible measure of progress to fixate on.
But today, finally, I started swimming laps. The pool is 25 yards long, so each lap is 50 yards. I did 20 laps in approximately an hour (mostly breast-stroke, with five or six half laps of freestyle). 1000 yards (1760 yards in a mile), which is .56 miles.
So imagine that the rowboat sank at 275.6 miles, which is where I stopped using the rowing machine; I shall be swimming the rest of the way. Progress will be very slow.
LAPS: 20
YARDS: 1,000
MILES: .56
TOTAL MILES: 276.16
