It's Done

The school year is done - all of my classes are finished, everything is done (minus an easy 2-3 page paper that's due Friday) and I am happy as ever. There's been some problems this year but I finally have my mojo back. It started with a huge rally in Jew Bible and ever since then I've been on fire - the mojo has returned and I'm actually caring about everything I've been doing. I've been taking care of myself more and it all started with an abs program I kicked off this April and have been bumping that up ever since. I'm back with pushups and upper body workouts too because the shoulder is better. I've been swimming, I've been running, I've been doing all kinds of things to stay in shape and improve my athleticism and self-confidence.

Now it's summer time - it's time to see if this work paid off. The kids I coach are going to keep me on my feet and keep me in the water swimming and making sure if they are in tip top shape. If I, along with our great head coach, can teach them all these things it will be a winning situation for us. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a group of kids you mentor and coach do the things you want and do the things they deserve to have - improvements in their physical abilities. With that being said, the swim season kicks off Tuesday in the brand new, beautiful Virginia Hills Deluxe pool. It's going to be fun - no matter how many or how few come to learn, it will be another rich and rewarding experience.
