" I wasn the swim team for a couple of weeks in HS. Then my mom decided that practice ran too late. After that I was on the track team for a couple of weeks. Then my mom made me quit & grounded me because she said I didn't tell her about a track meet that I was running in. It was a 2-day meet. It was ok, the first day, but the second day was a church night. I think that's why she lied or conveniently forgot that I told her. But I digress... "

" I played a lot of sports but always got hurt. I used to waterski, hydroslide, snow ski, volleyball, basketball, table tennis (got an A in PE when we had this), hockey with my brother (I was always goalie! grrr) LOL, track and field (mostly the strength stuff like shot put or shorter runs), martial arts, swimming, football, riding bikes, badminton, baseball and weightlifting. I also used to love to dance.

Now, I do dancing with the seniors, walking and stretches. I can still kick butt on table tennis too! "

" When I was about 11 or 12 I think, my brother and I used to play hockey in our backyard. He played minor League hockey. I also used to ice skate - could do all the moves the Olympic athletes but no more. I can still dance from time to time. "
