Hi everyone- I have never thought of myself as an "athlete"- my brother had the claim to that- but I see that we can have more than one "athlete" in the family! I have always had the idea that your are either born an athlete or not... I see now I don't have to believe these lies!!- I'm turning 30 next year, and I am looking forward to living out my new athletic status and getting fit!! with the help of this training log- what a blessing I've found it!
All the best,
"Ath"lete

I saw a quote that sort of goes along with Ron's on someones door at work. Of ocurse now I probably won't get it quite right.

---All of us are athletes... some are just not in training.

But anyway wlecome to BT and be sure to share your sucess stories.

I have learned that your body will do what you train it to do...maybe not as fast as you want....but if you do the sports...you are an athlete.

Wow guys thanks for all the encouragement!!! I found a training buddy and started on my goals. I am also encouraging all the kids I work with to see themselves as athletes too- I'm incorporating much more physical activity into my lessons- I'm a speech pathologist in training-
Thanks Ron for setting this up and that it's free- I really appreciate it!
