Well, here we have the beginning of a new journey.
My name is Sarah, I am approximately 5'9'', I weigh 130lbs, and I have some pretty hefty aspirations. I wouldn't describe myself as an athletic person. Not currently, anyways. A flattering description of myself might be, "light, lithe, and agile" whereas a non-flattering description might be, "as a cooked spaghetti noodle". Irrelevant.
This is the beginning of a majestic and epic quest to get myself in shape. I am participating in the 2012 Underwear Affair this year, which is a 10k run to raise awareness about below-the-belt cancers... I'm so pumped. Participating in a 10k run, though, means having the ability to participate in a 10k run. I'm workin' on that part.
It's also been a long-percolating aspiration of mine to become a traceuse: a practitioner of parkour. In almost perfect alignment with that, a parkour gym recently opened up about 40 minutes from here, and there's a conditioning class. The only obstacle that remains between me and my goals is me. I'm absolutely brilliant when it comes to making up excuses - my own inventiveness amazes me. Next week, I'll jump in.
Anyways, the purpose of this blog is to keep track of my goals, document progress, and serve as an album of unflattering pictures of me looking disheveled. And not in the good way. I'm a little nervous publishing this, knowing how silly it'll look if I let it fall to the wayside and have this as the only post, but... Maybe that's the push I need. Tomorrow, the planning begins, and next week, I'm gonna kick so much ass it's not even funny. Let's get 'er done. <3
