"SKATING: It's the feeling you get at the end of a hard practice when you pushed yourself to the limit, the way the ice feels when you get back on it after a few months off. It's a part of YOUR IDENTITY, something you LOVE and something you HATE. A bond that NO ONE ELSE really understands, but that's okay, because every time you get out on the ice it isn't just you; it's all the friends and coaches over the years, all the practices, all the sweat, all the pain, all the tears, all the memories, all the laughter, all the "off" competitions, all the lifetime bests, and all the road trips. As individual as it may seem, skating is really a team sport, and even still, it's more than just a sport. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE."
Found that on a message board somewhere about a year or two ago. I love it. :)

Remember that feeling when you're tired, rundown, or having trouble landing jumps. It'll remind you WHY you're putting in the hours you are.
I love to skate, even when I'm just teaching mohawks to little kids. It's a blast to glide and move fast.

Yah, I competed Nationally for 5 years until I went to collge. I reached the gold level a couple of years ago. I stopped a year ago though due to bad knees. I'm very sad now. But it was great when I got my gold. It took my 6 years to land my double axel...very stressful.
