Yep, Another Post by Me

I'm afraid that I may be the only one contributing to this blog, but that just gives more attention to me! So I will carry on. . .

Do you know what? I like being active! Who knew?! Being active and involved is getting very fun. Before I looked for every moment to do personal hobbies like reading, scrapbooking and such. These days I can't wait for my next run to see how far I can go, to get on the basketball court for the next game or being outside chasing the boys. I spent an hour this afternoon just shooting hoops today in the neighborhood ghetto court with two other ladies. It was so much fun! I still enjoy being crafty and reading but if there is a chance to play sports, I'm game.

I feel so much more alive these days than I have in a long time. My confidence just soars when I tell people I just ran 4.5 miles or get high fives when I make a nice jumper outside the paint. And today I was asked to be on a softball team and I hope to set up a few tennis matches in the next month. What a much funner way to live than moping around feeling sorry for my overweight, in-active self!

I look back to how I used to be in high school and miss those days where it was all about the next game. I want some of that glory back, the glory that I am an athlete and love sports. I know people question me when I say that I played three sports in high school. I sure don't look it, but you know what, I will get back there again. I promise you that! Next time you see me, you will think I am ten years younger fitting into those lovely polyester, purple basketball shorts with the thick gold stripes.

Now, there is a sight to behold. . . .
