SPORTS Interests-Player/Spectator?

[joanrdtobe]

What sports do you like -- to play yourself (with family/friends) or to be spectator????? Ever play in highschool/college???

[Andrew]

I like watching baseball & football.

Played some football in my earlier days, but after an illegal tackle, I was out for the count. Years later and 2 knee surgeries...I miss the physical aspects of the game, but its still fun to watch.

Competitive freestyle snow skiing is fun to watch too. I was also on the varsity swim team

I used to teach snowskiing, waterskiing and was a lifeguard too.

Hrmmm....can ya tell I have ADD yet?

Okay.....I LOVE swimming....about 5 days per week....here at school...heated pool outdoors...and reward is awesome hottub...very bubbly and steaming hot....wonderful......

To spectate.....I'm a die-hard baseball fan specifically of the Boston Red Sox -- growing up we went to tons of games at Fenway Park....had season tickets in fact....started going when I was 10 years old.......Go Red Sox....!!!! NO I won't say here how we feel about the Yankees.......I think they've won 7 in a row so far this year??

Yaay...another swimmer

Cycling-mountain & road, light weight lifting, I used to swim when I had a gym membership, Is drumming a sport? I get a good workout!

Like baseball, football, hoops, track & field, pool

I will never understand Cub and Red Sox fans. Maybe it's the So Caif influence of having so much and believing in nothing. But, Cubs and Red Sox fans have deep co-dependent roots. The Yankees are having the BEST start in 100 years. In today's playoff rotation, coming in second is fine. Just make it to the playoffs and then the "real" season starts.

Go Yankees

I'm into working out.

My specialty is 12 oz. curls.

I wish I did more stuff. I just don't know where to start. I was always really good at sports. Maybe when I finish school I can try to find something I like. It's just hard for me to stick with anything. I joined a gym last year and did really well for a while, but now....20 lbs later....here I sit.

Misclee -- not to sound like a "goodie-two-shoes" or anything -- but I'm at school too and as you know school can be quite stressful - and exercise can actually help...like I have this HUGE test on Tuesday...and I just went for a swim...now I don't feel so badly about studying for exam...puts it all in perspective...can't explain it....

[misclee]

I agree! I felt so much better when I was exercising.....you'd think, rationally, knowing that I would continue, but I am simply not motivated. Instead, I eat everything I see.

[Andrew]

Same here....Once I get into the 'habit' of working out...look out. But it is so hard sometimes to get back to working out once I have stopped.

[joanrdtobe]

Andrew - True...true....and more true...BUT...all it takes to get back the momentum is one or two days in a row of doing whatever -- and BOOM - your back....

Misclee -- nothing wrong with that -- as long as what you see -- are fruits, veggies, etc.... what is it that your "seeing"??????

[misclee]

Yes, I become easily complacent. It's a curse, I tell you!

[Andrew]

Oh I agree, Joan...that's what's happened with my biking. I was doing great....4 miles a day, then I went to boot camp for a week, no chance of biking there. It took me a few days after I got home to finally start biking again.

[misclee]

What I'm seeing is Easter candy....and lots of it!
