Song of choice: Every Step Breath You Take - The Police

I need your help. And the best part is that you dont need to do anything.

Here's the deal. Now that I've got the pool open for the summer here, I'm sure as hell going to use it. Tonight I want to post a new section on this blog, and what that is going to hold essentially are my times. I need to start exercising my knees, and this is the only low-impact solution that I came up with.

They're bad. Or at least, they're getting worse. My right is able to work, but my left one is so bad that it's clicking with every step now.

Every step I take,
Every move I make,
Every single day,
I'll be feeling you.

I have to do something about it, and this is it!

Personally, I dont care if you look at that page.. lol.. I'm just putting it up as incentive to get out.

This will bring me back to my swimming days. I used to do competitive swimming. Despite my size, I used to be fairly good at it. At CITI meets, I never lost in freestyle, or backcrawl... Mostly because I was the only swimmer brave enough to attempt a suicide-turn.. (it's a flip-turn on your back). And always placed in breast-stroke and butterfly. I've still got my "Awards of Merit" sitting around somewhere... I think they're in a box in my closet. Teghan, my coach, tried to convince me to enter Tomac (never knew how to spell it correctly, so that's how it sounds). Basically what that was, was hyper-competitive swimming. At that point I was swimming 3 nights a week, and did it for 2 years I think... But if I went into Tomac, it was getting up before dawn, 3 times a week, working out for an hour, do laps for an hour.. then off to school. To any of you who know me... getting up early isn't really my specialty.

I was an active little bugger when I was a kid. I did baseball 4 times/week (2 games, 2 practices) in the summer, Swam 3 nights a week in the winter, and did english riding all year 'round. That's something I really want to go back to. I went on a western trail ride 2 years ago with Jenny, her sister, and a couple of their friends.. but it wasn't the same. I want to jump again. I want to field ride again... ahhh memories..

Anyway, I better get back to work... I started an entry about the wedding.. I'll finish it tonite hopefully when I put up the new page...

Until next time.......
