Just Keep Swimming

In keeping with tradition, a brief update on the channel swim. I've only managed 4 sessions in the past week, however this still leaves me on track for a mile a day to finish. The only real reason for doing any of this was, of course, just for the sheer fun of it. After hearing the suggestion of it (I can't take all the credit for the idea - after all, it's not like it hasn't been done in one go before!), I thought it would be a good challenge to motivate me to actually do something; and it has been. It is of course by no means over yet so perhaps a little premature for celebration, but a little optimism can't hurt.

Progress as of 23/05/2012

As much as I intended to find some great wisdom to impart on any readers, I am taking a slightly different note in this post. This is where the title starts to become even more relevant. I have decided that I will be taking part in the Great North Swim, an outdoor swim in Windermere, Cumbria. I will be swimming a mile on the 24th June in the great outdoors. This is very different to casually swimming in a heated, sheltered pool and shall hopefully be a great step up and a suitable next challenge. I will also be taking part in the event to raise money for Marie Curie. If you do feel as though you wish to donate to this cause, please do head over to the Just Giving page I've set up.
