I don't know if it my dreams of winning an Olympic medal or just the fact that we get better with age, but I know that some days things do fall in the right place. I may not be Ian Thorpe or Michael Phelps in the water, but I sure make a go at it.
Wednesday, it was as if everything fell into place. Why is it after this many years, I finally figured things out. It's true. This year all my races have been pr's. What sort of miracle happened? Am I finally listening to my body?
Most say that with age we slow up our pace. Somehow, I feel that with all these years of doing things wrong, maybe things will go right. It's as if things are becoming easier more like second nature. It is become more a part of me and I of it. Maybe with age we use our minds less and become more like children.
Most children like to go out to play and enjoy running around. It's once there is 'sport' involved that the shy ones don't like it as much. I was shy and wasn't the first on picked at kickball. To play sports you need a level of confidence. I'm building my each and every day. I don't take that for granted.
With age, I've become more like a tom-boy and enjoy the sport of it all. I've broken out of my shell and made something of myself. I enjoy the competition. I enjoy the push. Most of all maybe that shy girl in me will just sit out and I'll be able to play with the boys. I have so much to learn and maybe it will stay that way.
