The continuing quest of Binge Swimmer to take swimming seriously, (but of course not too seriously) Having failed miserably in 2012 and crashed and burned in 2013, my aim for 2014 is unsurprisingly; To swim the equivalent of a mile a day, (that's a little under 590,000 metres for the metrically challenged amongst you)

Captain's log goes green, as it records 49,900 metres for January
Thanks to Judith Middleton of @JudithsDivorce (despite the missing apostrophe) for this link from a tweet and the theme for this afternoon's blog.
On showing the tweeted video clip to Bob he became more animated about DIY then I have ever known him and thought the idea of a Holo deck in the lounge was just the best and that we should "make it so". (Well what should I have expected from someone who has the description "Trekkie, Triathlete and Techno geek" engraved on his iPod. I suppose "it's life Jim but not as we know it").
I needed to swim and add some metres to my very own (captain')s log today, and on the basis that resistance is futile, I gave in to the urge to swim and made it to Consett's session where I was rewarded with not 1 but 2 Evil Mutant Swim Coaches.
Martin Cook was back from a trip to South Africa sporting a broken wrist (an incident with a dumbbell) and then proceeded to take it out on us with the following set.
466 freestyle warm up
