Memories….

Watching Michael Phelps and all the swimming during the 2008 Olympics have made me miss high school swimming so much.  I never thought I’d miss it as much as I do.  I miss the extreme exercise, the meets, the friends I made, the coaches, and how hard I pushed myself.  Each time Michael Phelps received a medal, I felt like I was getting trophies.  I was no where near as good as an Olympian on the swim team, but I know how it feels to be good enough at something to win.  Swim team was one of the most amazing things to be a part of, and I’m so sad that that part of my life is over!

    I miss high school sports… watching and playing. That’s really the only thing I miss about high school these days. I was so much more fit than I am now too. Sucks.. :(

    I am right there with you- I never knew how much I could miss swimming. I have considered joining our recreational league, but I just cannot bring myself to do it as it’s not the same feeling.. But yay for Michael Phelps! I was right there alongside the television cheering him on!

    I know, what you mean about watching swimming at the Olympics. I miss being on my schools team, the people I swam with and everything. Now the only swimming I do is when my canoe flips over.
