I was thinking today about a lot of things (class is over and I only work part-time so I have A LOT of free time :)) and I started to think about my swimming. Why I had started back, why I was doing it now, and what I hoped to someday accomplish with it. So then I began to wonder why every one here swam? What is your reason for dragging yourself out of bed every morning? What made you decide to come back after all those years off (if in fact you did take years off)? Is it for fitness, for fun, or some other reason? Just curious!

I swim because A - I LOVE the people I swim with (coaches included, most of the time), B - My body (in particular my back) couldn't take distance road running anymore, C - I never really tried in high school, enjoyed in high school, etc. and I wanted to see what I could do/accomplish. D - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE competing, it's a blast. E - I love pushing myself and seeing how fast I can go, and F - b/c I love a challenge!
