I am not an athlete....

but I do extraordinary things with my non-athletic body!  :)

What I mean by this (as maybe some of you may argue), that I am not naturally gifted physically. I've gotten to where I am because I pay attention, ask lots of questions, do drills, think (way too much) about technique. I train really hard, but still not fast or that strong. But I like it better this way. Tastes better because it's been so hard to achieve.

Wait - does this completely contradict the title of this blog, you know Born Again Athlete?

Almost on a weekly basis, I have the same internal debate of, Am I an athlete or just a person involved with a fad? I was never an athlete while in school so I guess it deals with the identity we labeled ourselves with in our early lives. Gradually, I have been getting more comfrotable thinking of myself as an athlete.

Comfortable with it or not, I think we have to agree, we are doing some amazing things, just like athletes.
