I do like tech, but not everywhere and not all the time. So I was surprised to find that I really wanted a waterproof iPod for swimming. I swim - a lot. And I don't read as much as I would like, so why not combine the two? I love multi-tasking.
There are so many fabulous books to download. I use iTunes because it is so easy to do, but other sources are available. I 'read' non-fiction, mainly travel and South East Asia is a favourite destination. I have just finished 'Nine Lives: in search of the sacred in modern India' by William Dalrymple. It took almost 13 hours of swimming to complete - around 40 km!
I really look forward to my swim treat and not having to count laps as I go. I let myself get lost in the stories, the characters and the voice in my head.
My new book is 'Shadow of the Silk Road' by Colin Thubron - an easy 17 hours of swimming. I can't wait to get started.
