Not a bad weekend

Well I'm still down here in Kuwait. Going on 3 weeks now. Its not too bad, the heat hasn't become quite unbearable yet and the pool has been really nice. Plus, there have been a lot of broken jets recently which leaves a lot of people hanging around to do stuff with. This last weekend, we commandeered the pool for a bit and played some pool volleyball. It was almost like home, laying in the sun and then jumping in the pool to cool off. Pretty sweet actually.

I've also started lap swimming. That is one of the hardest things ever! I usually only swim for survival purposes, but now swimming for distance, I cant believe how difficult it is. I can only swim 500 meters as of yet (it is my second workout of the day usually), but hope to get to a mile before I leave. When I finish, my heart is pounding and I'm gasping for breath. Ive always heard it was a great cardio workout, but man, its harder than I thought. Oh well, word is I will be off to Turkey at some point this week. We'll see....
