What led up to that . I set myself down a downward spiral. I think it was more of a sign than anything else that i had to get something under control, whatever it was. I look back at that night and everything happened for a reason. I believe so, yeah. I really do. Honestly, sort of, at one point, i felt like i didnt want to see another day. I felt like it should be over. With mounting pressure from family and friends, phelps would eventually check himself into a rehab clinic in arizona. You checked yourself into the meadows for 45 days. Youve said you dont know if youre an alcoholic. Maybe you have a binch i checked myself in because i think i was at a point in my life where something needed to change, and i needed to figure those things out. Phelps says he figured those things out and now its back to the pool. How is training going now . Whats the difference . I want to be here. Thats the difference. I had no desire to go to workout before. I want to retire how i want to retire. And i have a great opportunity to do that. I havent trained like this in decades. And the results are speaking for themselves. Phelps now has the lead for the americans. Looking again like the most dominant swimmer in olympic history as his mother, fiancee, and son, boomer, cheer him on. And like the rest of us, waiting . . . . So we know what hes done so far.

She does. I was sitting with the group from los angeles including our mayor and they just said the race is for second. Shes incredible. Her swimming speaks to herself. Ive never ahead by like five seconds from everybody else. I love watch her swim. More importantly, i think shes just an amazing woman. Shes kind. Shes humble. I texted her beforehand and i said good luck. She said i hope leah smith wins a medal. Shes worried about medal instead of herself. Not a professional. Shes the amateur. She doesnt have to show up with the watch company or whatever it is. She can stay in her zone. She wants to go to shes going to stanford next year to get her education and swim for a team and does it because she loves it. Michael phelps 19th gold medal. This is the first of perhaps many here. How many more golds does he really have a shot at . I think he could win three or four more gold medals. Watching him swim last night in my swimmer capacity, he looked very good in the water. You see swimming. I see high in the water. Hes going up against lochte. Thursday night. 200 i. M. Katie ledecky 200 freestyle. 400, 800 and the 200 is a sprint for her. Theres an italian thats good. I think she can do it. Closest race though. When you talk about what shes able to do, you talk about sprints and then a marathon in swimming. Thats my races were 400 and 800. I couldnt swim 100 to save my life. I couldnt sprint. So the fact that she can be on a silver medal winning relay and then swim the 800 meter and break the world record by ten seconds is amazing. Before coming here, didnt she come here in 1,500 which is giant, didnt she beat the next person by 13 . Seconds. Shes a pool length ahead. Lochte has thursday coming up. He looked great at trials. He swam with a join injury at trials. I suspect that its healed now. And he has the gray hair. Silver. I dont know. Silverish. I love that he and phelps are roommates here.
