Hello!
 

Just wanted to say hi and let everybody know that I'm joining the gang. It's going to be a challenging holiday (they always are!), but I didn't want to wait for New Year's to get started.

Once upon a time, I was a very fit, but very inflexible, competitive swimmer. I've recently gone back to the pool, and joined a Masters team, with the goal of going to long-course National championships in August 2009. I've got some hurdles to get there - I'm heavier and older, with a son, job, and family distractions. On my positive side, I have all the knowledge I need, and the desire to get it done.

I've been reading the success stories, the goals and mini-goals ... and y'all have got me pumped!

:welcome: Glad you found us! I look forward to getting to know you :)
It's always good to have another Michigander here :)

I know reading those forums are so motivating!

Welcome to the group. As you can see I am also new and decided that this was something I needed some help with. Together we CAN do this.
