Getting Nervous...

Diving Well with Towers

It has been a long time since I have been genuinely anxious about anything trivial.  I generally have a philosophy of only worrying about things I have control over.  Life is too short to lose sleep about things that are not really important.

With that said - I am not sure how I can categorize my return to the springboard.  I have worked very hard to prepare for getting back in the pool.  The last 2 months of running, gym workouts and mental preparation somehow do not seem to be enough.  After 31 years of being off the board - I really wonder if I can do it.

My first session with a coach is Thursday evening.  I am really excited about going to class - and see what Masters Diving is all about.  Will there be anyone else my age there?  Am I going to be the only one?  All this will soon become clear.  When I told my daughter I was nervous - she rolled her eyes.  I was quickly reminded that EMPATHY is not easily doled out by teens.  Especially from your own kids.

So with that said - I am anxiously looking forward to my first pool session at the Kennedy Shriver Aquatic Center.
