Random Thoughts on a Friday Afternoon

Okay, so another quick post about things I have learned this week:

1. Swimming is much easier with goggles.  They allow you to keep your head down in the water and avoid nasty neck cramps.
2. The first week of the half marathon training is coming to a close.  Only 11 more weeks to go.
3. The weight tracker thing over at physicsdiet.com seems like a pretty cool idea.  Instead of weighing in once a week, you weigh in daily (or multiple times a day).  Some folks on the WW message boards say that it gives you a better idea of your weight loss because our weight can fluctuate so wildly on a day to day basis. It averages your weight for the week rather than a one time weigh in kind of shot.  I'm going to give it a try this week and see if it makes any difference. (ie makes me feel better)
4. Swimming may be easier with goggles, but it is still pretty tough.  I can't believe how winded I am after 25 yards.  Somehow this will help my running I guess.
