I have never thought of myself as an athlete. As a kid, I hated sports. I would hike only to find a quiet, shady place to lie down and read a book. I played t-ball because my mom wanted me to participate in team sports. I can’t remember why I ran track in junior high, but I suffered through every step of the mile, the half-mile and long jumping. I started to like tennis too late in high school to get on the team so I’ve always just played a couple of times a year with my parents.
