In my quest to become a little more bad ass, I've talked up a big game!
For the last couple of years I've started to have a realization that I need to make the most of my young vibrant self. That's not to say that I won't entertain a world of new adventures as I age. However, I'm noticing a horrifying trend in the present... the older I get, the more of a sissy/wus/$!%?@ I become! This is not okay!
So, as a result, I'm on a quest to become a little more bad ass... and I'm pretty excited!
I have a handful of activities (yes, I realize their not truly bad ass because I'm not jumping out of airplanes or bungee jumping from the Royal Gorge... but it's all about progress- not perfection!). I'm planning to take up paddle boarding (b/c I can do that with my friend Kricket in Durango), nordic skiing, mountain biking, surfing (Kricket and I are planning a trip to CA in October maybe), etc. I may even buy a wet suit... with booties! The key is that I'm not really afraid of any of those activities. Preferred result of my theory... These things will ease me in to other terrifying things... fingers crossed!
Oh' and... I'm becoming a student of dance again... I don't know what's scarier than that!!!
In an effort to kick off the new ME... I did what any respectable girl would do... I purchased a drawer full of new bras (VS had a sale... and it was a little piece of heaven. Truly, there were models wearing angel wings)!
After I took care of the necessary, I made a plan to run 2 miles with my friend Lindsey. Lindsey is in a pretty intense and amazing dance training regiment that requires her lungs to run 2 miles without wanting to slam her face in the sidewalk... so I decided to join her... neither of us run... ever! (Once again, I realize that this is not a huge feat for many of my friends... but don't judge (again, progress- not perfection... thank you Ali)!
I'm happy to report that both Lindsey and her running mate (me) completed the entire distance without stopping, passing out or complaining (because we didn't talk)! That wasn't the plan but neither one of us wanted to admit to the other that we hated it... so we smiled at each other periodically and jammed out on our iphones!
After our victorious excursion along the Platt, we treated our selves to an iced chai tea (venti, of course) and fresh fruit/goodies (all before 7:30am)... oh yeah, bad ass!
I took work by storm all day yesterday... endorphins are the best "upper", seriously!
Later that night, I went to watch DC rock their softball game... yes, just watch! Yet another area that I need work on... but then again, I don't know if I care enough to have balls thrown at fast speeds towards my head... I'll save that challenge for another blog... (by the way, if you're an old school Clueless fan, I'm already married... my social life is a mute point).
Here are a few pics and videos of the fun...
Stevo.... Bryan... Others...
Above video: Bryan gettin' his hit on! (Sorry Stevo, I couldn't get your grand slam to upload... Bryan gets to be the star of my hardly touched blog!) :-)
Joyful,
KE...to the B
