Purple Swimming, Purple Knee

I swam with the Purple Group last night. It was a better workout than last week, for which I was grateful-- I haven't been able to RUN since last Friday and really wanted some legit cardio. Apparently I am using the wall too much, though. Not in the sense I am hanging on to it in the middle of the pool, but I rely too much on pushing off or something... I stay under water 'too far' which is bad because "you're training for a triathlon here." Sometimes I have a hard time taking coaching as coaching, not criticism.

Knee update:
Left still hurts. Right's over compensating. Dooring is an incredibly unfortunate circumstance.

Frustrated, I won't lie.
But-- perspective is important. I have intentionally been trying to keep the people that have a blood cancer at the forefront of my mind in this whole thing. I can't imagine the frustrations they have endured when their body failed them, over and over. My scraped knees pale in comparison to their obstacles, yet my whining surpasses theirs by far. If this is what it takes to get closer to a cure, then so be it.
