X: Near Miss Won't Get Me Down

Reviewing my training log, I just noticed that my 4,500-yard swim the other night brought me up to 100,000 yards for the month of February. That's about 57 miles. I have to think I would have hit an even 60 miles in a normal 30- or 31-day month. Maybe even if it had been a leap year. I'm determined to make lemonade out of this lemon life has dealt me by swimming even longer and harder in March—even if it means forfeiting my scheduled off day on March 27. I can't let this get me down. - Racer X
