Future Olympian

a little humor to start your day...

So I head to Cowles mtn after work like I always do but today is
particularly awesome. Not only have I updated my ipod but I have been
kicking serious ass on the mtn! I get behind this girl who apparently
also is kicking ass and I make it my goal to stay 5 feet behind her
the whole way, I hit the top in 20 minutes, a new record for me! I
dont think I can run that fast on a flat surface! (although you have
seen my running, it might be less coordinated than my dancing) So
totally stoked I head down the mtn but for some reason I cant quite
get in the rhythm, my center is way off and I decide it must be
because of the new music so I search and search the ipod, while
running down, thats talent for ya, and find that song "keep the car
running" thats in GO (this is my new running anthem by the way, I feel
like a flippin olympian in my first race, or more like an old pro). Im
watching this gorgeous sky, you know the sort where the rays are
poking through the clouds as the suns setting and it almost makes you
feel spiritual. Totally rocking out, smiling, near the bottom, finally
on flat ground, stoked in the moment and ... drum roll please... I
fall. I FELL ON FLAT GROUND. So I totally rip up my pants, my hands,
have a not so hot limp going on and adamantly run the rest of the way
down... or hobble if you will :)

Heading back today to face my demons!
