Sweeties, Pies and Ginger

I've decided to start swimming in the mornings before going to work. This is all down to the fact that I've decided to do a triathlon, which involves a swim, a cycle and a run. It's one of the goals I've set myself from participating in the ProActive study into preventing Type 2 Diabetes. There is a local pool open in the mornings before work, so my aim is to go Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I can worry about cycling and running at a later date.

However, Karen has stated that my current swimming trunks are indecent and look terrible. I'm hoping to start swimming tomorrow and I'll have to ware a pair of swimming shorts that I take on holiday, they're not very streamline and can imagine that they'll slow me down a bit. So a quick check on the Internet revealed that I couldn't afford a pair of Speedo Fast Skin Hydroshort's (I don't think I'm Olympic standard just yet...). Since I wanted a pair of shorts rather than a pair of trunks I ended up going for a pair of Maru EXS Short's. Now I just have to loose the belly, otherwise they'll look a bit daft...
