END OF THE YEAR
Because you are a US Masters Swimmer you can create your town Fitness 
Log account on the US Masters Swimming web site. You can log your 
daily swimming yardage and it will track your yardage through out the 
year. Go to
	http://www.usms.org/myusms/flog/
to create your own account. It would be a good start for next year, 
but  starting to log your yardage in the account. (I  made my goal of 
swimming 250 miles during 2009. Now do I raise the bar?)

The Go the Distance has a great worksheet to log your daily yardage. 
It has more distinct ways to log your yardage, that most people will 
ever need.
