Between now and the next meet (in January) we will have 40 practices at least 6500 yards each for a total of 260,000 yards. We will do around 10,000 turns, and 1,00 block starts. That is over 150 miles of swimming. We will burn 30,000 calories in the water. Will we be ready in January? You decide.
Our practices are intense, and we don't slack or skip, we shut up and swim. Try and mess around in our practices, our coach may let you, he says you only hurt yourself (as in getting slower, not actually spraining an ankle or anything). Wanna mess around during a long set? Go ahead, be my guest, I just can't wait to see your reaction at the next meet! I am pumped up for these doubles, during Christmas break. It will be tough, and I will probably eat so much my family will puke just from watching me, but whatever. =]. Anyway, I hope you have a good weekend, and thanks for reading! (Oh, and please comment, and give me your opinion on this! Will we be ready? Yes or no, why or why not? Thanks!)

I've only got one comment: WHy does your dad take the time to figure this out? Doesn't he have better things to do then sit around and do math on how much you swim? We all know it's hard and quite a few laps but.... you know what I mean.
Well, Dereck was on T.V. or in the paper I forget which and he was quoted about the extra yards that Becky swam during high school to get good enough to win 2 state titles. So we had some fun at dinner with the calculator figuring out how many yards and miles and such you guys swim, stuff like how many years at PAWW it takes to put in enough yards to swim around the world once ect. Fun with numbers and good math, I just hope it was right. Mom is the math person.... or Max! I never have better things to do than talk to my kids or find ways to make math interesting and relevant to the things they enjoy! I guess I could take up hunting or bowling or play fishville on here:)
