After getting out of my wet diaper I would streak to the bathroom to shower off the stale pee smell before putting on a GoodNite, shorts, a t-shirt, socks and gym shoes. Only then would I leave my bedroom to head downstairs to exercise before school.
When I had found out that I was going to be able to complete in the Teen Surfing Competition this year I knew that I had to do something to be physically ready. Sitting on my butt watching the snow get deeper and deeper wasn’t going to do it, so at breakfast one morning I happen to say something to John about wanting to figure out a way that I could make sure I was ready to compete. That is when Grandfather suggested that I use the weight room in the basement. Before then I didn’t even know their house had a basement, let alone a weight room.
