In 2006 I resolve to:
1) Be on time for practice more often
2) weighing less than 210 when I compete and
3) lift weights twice a week

I resolve to know the difference between the Smiths, to stop making fun of the Canadian army, to believe that early blooming is a legitimate reply for any topic and to banish all pigeon lovin' fast skin wearin' swimmers back to the eastern part of the state where they belong.
We're still looking for some more replies....c'mon folks, don't be bashful!!
Please remember to send replies to:

1) read my post on this board before I punch send & to correct typos.
2) work on turns to make sure I come out of them more streamlined.
3) be more understanding of people in my lane who don't know how to swim (especially with the pysho-girl who is constantly crying).

To learn the *** stroke properly since it's the hardest stroke ever.

My personal New Year's Resolutions are to swim regularly - daily, as much as possible; to reach (and surpass) the level of fitness I had a couple years ago; to swim in my first competition in two years; to start competing more often; and to make time for good food/square meals rather than grabbing something fast and unhealthy and eating at the computer while working.

I resolve to hit the snooze bar only once instead of 2-3 times.
I resolve to start swimming fly in practice to be able to compete in the IM
I resolve to have more get togethers with friends.

I resolved to sleep past 9 a.m. on January 1, 2006. And I can happily report that I made my goal. :D
(1)finally learn the butterfly the right way and be able to swim at least 100 yds non-stop
(2)stop making excuses for not training at my full potential all the time
