"My Inner Athlete" -- GREAT article!

Hello ladies!

I read this about 2 months ago in Shape magazine and really liked what it had to say. (By the way, I'm sorry if it takes too long to load! I hope no one has problems with it; let me know if you do and I'll change it to a link!)

Just goes to show that our biggest enemies tend to be ourselves, and (of course)...


WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE!

YES!!! I can't even tell you the jitters I got the first time I signed up and ran a 5K race. It was AWFUL! For some reason, I just thought everyone would be staring at me, judging me, thinking I couldn't do it.

I've adopted this theory since then (and many other times afterward) that if it scares me -- DO IT. FACE IT. Those are the most worthwhile because there's really only ONE way to build self-esteem and feel accomplished, and PUSHING myself to face my fears is the real answer!

Now if only I could get my students to believe this...

Yep me too!! Didn't think I'd make it or that they'd have to call an ambulance for me.....but I did it!!
