I know I said I wasn’t going to do any writing this week but figured I should at least give you all an update on how my training is going.

I started the afternoon swims a couple of weeks ago and so far have proven to myself I can’t swim to really save my life. Half the laps I do see me swimming almost zig zags across the pool.  But I do my best to get the lals done quickly and with the least amount of stops as possible. Averaging 20 minutes for 30 laps of the pool I don’t think is that bad. I just wish I knew how long it is.

Sadly though I still can’t run and if it the same way by the end of next week, I am off to the doctors no matter how much it is going to cost me (probably a lot). Till then i just try to not work it so hard.

One thing I have bought to try and motivate me a little bit to stay on track (as I have been slipping lately due to the inability to run) with everything is a Fitbit Flex. It’s like a pedometer for my wrist but has so much more. I will post a full review probably next week but it is pretty awesome.

The flex keeps track of my movements obviously, but it also tracks my sleep patterns (surprising to see how much I wake up in the night), also my eating, water consumption and more! All synced to my phone via the app and it is pretty awesome!
