Thank you + an ankle update :)
Thank you to EVERYONE who attended our happy hour on 12/7. It was an amazing success, and I was able to raise a ton of money. The space was really cool, and people were really loving the food from the tequeria next door! We stayed and danced the evening away and everyone had a really great time (and some folks won some awesome raffle prizes too!)
I'm back in Singapore now, and my ankle is quickly getting better. That said, my right foot is almost like dead weight to the point that when someone is about to step on it, or I'm about to drop something, my reflexes just aren't working quick enough to get my foot out of the way. (either it's the injury, or I'm now just a million times more sensitive to the fact that I have a sprained ankle, and I keep dropping things on my foot.)
Yesterday was my first full workout since my last swim in NYC (about 2 weeks ago). I was able to do 40minutes in the pool (plus some) and swam just shy of a mile. I was worried that my ankle would start acting up, but luckily I was able to pull through and really get going! The pool here (pictured above) is absolutely beautiful and slightly longer than the Y I go to, so I was really enjoying myself. Looking around at all the guys around me, I was definitely one of the better swimmers, and probably the one with the most endurance (which doesn't say a lot since I'm still a weaker swimmer, and about 20-30 years younger than most of the guys that were there...) Excited to get running again soon! My ankle feels like it's at about 75%!
It's a busy month for sure, but Bermuda is right around the corner! This is what my travel looks like through the end of January, but I'm thrilled to finally have BERMUDA in my list of upcoming trips!!

9 mile walk GTS!
I might have a little soccer injury, but that's not going to keep me from GTS! I did the Brooklyn GTS this morning, crossing the Manhattan Bridge, walking to the Willamsburg Bridge, and then back to Fort Greene. My ankle is getting a little bit better, and I'm optimistic for Bermuda!
Here's a shot from our 9mile walk.
