Confession #1 - I am a athlete!! 5/17/09

I have a confession. I think that I am an athlete. I have always seen myself as a person that was born without any athleticism. I have been overweight my whole life and everybody knows that fat people are not athletes. I mean.. I knew that I loved dancing but that didn't make me an athlete. In fact, I finished a marathon a couple of years ago and the words "You are not a runner" kept bouncing around my head. Today as I was finishing my fourth hour of dancing I had a mini Epiphany.. "It wasn't easy but I finished four hours of rigorous exercise.. and I could go a couple more... holy crap .. I THINK I MIGHT BE AN ATHLETE". Then it came to me:

• Irish Dancing
• Running
• Biking
  
• Brown Belt in TaeKwonDo
• Pilates
• Walking
• Dancing any chance that I get.

I think that any of us can be an athlete. All we have to do is chose to be one. Holy crap.. people have been telling me this for years and finally I agree with them. Hot damn Beth Leckbee-Makler is athletic dynamo!!!!
