My sister was a college swimmer as I was, and we are often asked-“why don’t you do Master’s swimming?”  (Well, I could list my physical aggravations and injuries here, but I will spare you!)  She responds by telling them “because I remember my times and where I was then (she was an Olympic Trial qualifier) and I also know I’ll never get back to that point.  Where is the fun in that?”  I completely understand this.  Some former swimmers differ, and I believe continuing to swim is just in their blood-they have reset those goals for this period in their lives.  That is great!  But for my sister and me?  Yeah, we have to be moving forward, setting new goals, blazing new territory!  So for that type of person, I challenge you to not just go back to your sport or your “go to” activity that you have always deemed your exercise program.  Here is your chance to change things up.  Go outside your comfort zone.  Make new goals!  Find your new team (even if it is one other person!).  Train for an event, to do a new yoga pose with ease, to make it to that next mailbox on your run today!  I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone and have to admit I am loving it, and setting new goals for myself.  Have you?
