That's a Long Time!

I just did the math and realized I exercised for 4.5 hours today.  That's crazy.

When I sat down with Peter Linn last June and asked for his opinion on how I could drastically change my training, he said "The people you want to swim against are working out 30 hours a week".  At the time I thought it would be impossible to commit that much time to a sport I wasn't getting paid for.  Yet, 9 months later, here I am already at 20.5 hours a week with more to come.  I feel a lot of pride for what I've already accomplished.  It's taken a lot of balancing and sacrifice.  I will eventually see the results I'm working toward.
