Hey Ya’ll This is something I need to post. Last night I was watching the women’s swimming at the Olympics with my parents. After a side comment on how I “could have been there” by my mom I realized that she was right. In high school I was a Varsity swimmer with my 100 Fr at 58.54. This was me, not trying too hard, and focusing on other things. This included skipping practices and only working out once a day on school days. I’m now newly 20, and only 3 years out of practice (only…). I want to get back to where I was, if not better. So as of now I have decided to set a goal to get to the Olympic time trials for London 2012. It’s a big goal, as I’m also in the band, H2O polo and studying to be a Mechanical Engineer. All I said was time trials, if I make it further I’m going for it, but all I want is to make it to time trials. I have 4 years, 14 days, and about 9 hours until the opening ceremonies of those Olympics. So what do I ask of ya’ll? SUPPORT! Please help me to keep up with my workouts (I will be joining a local masters program). I’ll also be posting more often in this forum. Thanks for your support, hopefully you’ll start to hear my name more often. Madeline

    plus I hoped to piss her off a little to push her in the "I'll prove him wrong mindset" which is supporting her Very few people respond well to negative feedback, especially from a stranger. For example, how did you like it when I corrected your reading comprehension? (For the record, I wasn't trying to piss you off to motivate you to read more.)
