Entry #2 that I'll want to delete when I'm done
I have a friggin awesome tan right now. Spent many hours at the beach and the pool this weekend - it's so nice to be outside enjoying the weather. There's nothing I hate more than sitting indoors when it's nice out.
I realized this weekend that if there's one thing I could change about myself, I wish I was more athletic. I generally like who I am as a person, but I friggin suck at sports and most of them. I sucked at soccer when I was little, I sucked at basketball in 8th grade, I sucked at tennis in high school (that a whole different story though...) - and people say that it doesn't matter if you're good at it, just as long as you're having fun. But that's not true, it really isn't.
The problem is probably that I have a lot of guy friends here that are pretty much good at any given sport - and even the girls are pretty athletic too. My friends at home - well, you know we don't go out and throw a football around or play volleyball for kicks. We'll throw a frisbee around, but that's about the extent of it. I like that though - maybe it's just another reason why I don't feel inadequate around people at home.
The thing that just concerns me the most is that the older you get, the more you need to work to maintain your body and stay healthy. I need to start doing that pronto, but I don't want the elliptical to be the bane of my existance.
Ryan and I want to be on the Amazing Race someday...but I won't be able to keep up with him and he'll dump me on national TV and then I'll become a recluse in Antartica. Not really, but it could be bad.
