If You Want To Touch The Other Shore Badly Enough, Barring An Impossible Situation, You Will. If Your Desire Is Diluted For Any Reason, You'll Never Make It.

Swimming Is Probably The Ultimate Of Burnout Sports. It's Ironic Because Millions Of People Who Swim As Their Regular Exercise Love The Meditation Aspect Of It; You Don't Wind Up With Any Orthopedic Injuries. But When You Swim At A World Class Level For Hours And Hours - The Loneness Of The Long Distance Runner.

Just Getting In The Pool For Seven Straight Hours Is Unbearable To Me.... It's Grueling. There's Nothing Physically Pleasurable About It. If You're Doing A Hard Workout, You're Throwing Up In The Gutter. At Night You Cling To Your Pillow And Just Hope That Your Body Revives Before You Have To Go Back And Do It Again.

You Have A Dream And You Have Obstacles In Front Of You As We All Do. None Of Us Ever Get Through This Life Without Heartache, Without Turmoil, And If You Believe And You Have Faith And You Can Get Knocked Down And Get Back Up Again And You Believe In Perseverance As A Great Human Quality, You Find Your Way.

The Spirit Is Larger Than The Body. The Body Is Pathetic Compared To What We Have Inside Us
