What I'm Reading This Week #19

Hello hello, mah peeps!  I hope you had a good week.  A quick birthday shout out to my FIL.  I'm sure he's whipping up quite a party up there and DJing like he used to back in the day.   It's very hard to not think that today was supposed to be our first full day walking Ogunquit Beach in Maine after finding a place we could finally afford there.   I'm also failing at knowing we should still be gone for another week. and we're especially bitter given what a complete disaster our attempt at a smaller getaway was when we stayed at the worst place we've ever rented a few days ago.  When I say there was nowhere comfortable to sit/sleep, I mean NOWHERE.  The Mr is crippled and we spent our anniversary hoping he didn't end up on a telehealth call for strong pain meds.  I had borderline migraines daily and by the end was also limping with my SI joint joining the hobble party.  It rained torrentially every single day which we're fine with n...

King Kelly does it again

I was so excited to watch Kelly Slater win the 2013 Fiji Pro in Tavarua, Fiji. 


For those who don't follow surfing, Kelly is a 41 year old surfer who is still schooling the younger up and comers even though by surfing standards he's considered the "old man" of the bunch.  He's pretty consistently in the top five and watching him is like watching a true master at work.  While the other guys were all taking a break after their heats two days ago, Kelly went out and surfed because he loves surfing whether he's competing or not.  His dedication, physical conditioning, mental confidence, leadership and letting age be a number and not a boundary, keep me coming back to watch him do what he does best.  He's a true inspiration to not only stay active but to keep doing the things you love.

Do you admire a particular athlete?  Do they inspire you to keep your fitness goals in check?

    So glad he won. That is awesome. It doesn't matter what your age is if you've still got the passion and he is living proof of that.

    I admired John Stockton, point guard for the Utah Jazz basketball team when I was learning to love basketball, for all the same reasons.
