Yet another random question that I was curious about. Obviously everyone here is either physically fit or well on their way, but do you consider yourself to be an athlete? What do you consider an athlete to be?

I think the word coordinated is a big part of being an athlete. Coordinated enough to participate in a sport w/o killing yourself or anybody else!
Seriously, I think of myself as an athlete who got a bit sidetracked for awhile and is now on a path of being athletic to be healthy. I no longer compete and when I hear the sentence "i am an athlete" I would assume that person competes in their sport.
