Joining the Olympics?!?!

December 13, 1942

This morning, Finny questioned me about joining any sports teams.  When I told him no, he made me do 30 chin-ups to get in shape for one.  I can hardly ever do 10 let alone 30!  Then we went running, and I was even surprised at myself for getting such good strides and I was beating times I never even dreamed of.  Finny claims he is trying to train me for the Olympics now that he can’t go, but I don’t know if I will ever be ready to.  Hopefully they won’t have the 1944 Olympics, so I will have an excuse to not have to go.
