As many of you know I'm busy catching up on the Olympics via one of the best inventions ever--the Tivo. I'm SO thankful for my Tivo. I was in Europe for the entirety of the Olympic games and would have been SO sad if I would have missed it all. As you can tell I'm a big fan. I've just always loved them. It's fun to cheer on the US and all but regardless of who wins in the end I just love seeing peoples' emotions when their dreams come true. It's thrilling and sometimes I cry. Even though I don't know them. But what an amazing thing to witness. I also love watching the Olympics because it blows my mind what people are capable of. Some of these sports are UNBELIEVABLY hard. Craziness. I'm amazed.
So I've been thinking lately about how cool it would be to win a gold medal. I've been trying to figure out what sport I have the best shot in. Mind you--I have little to no natural athletic ability. And I'm turning 32 this year. So I'm thinking I better shoot for one of the sports that's the easiest to pick up. Anything that involves strength (my chiropractor says I'm "soft"), stamina (I'm still working towards running 3 consecutive 10 minute miles), or doing something terrifying are out. There is definitely no ski jumping in my future. You might be inclined to suggest something like synchronized swimming. But have you watched that!? Seriously tough stuff. I'm watching it right now and these girls are amazing!! Another really hard-looking under-rated sport: water polo. A second reason not to do water polo: the unattractive bonnets.
My sister thinks I have the best shot in the luge. Sounds like a possibility. You just lay on a sled HURTLING THROUGH AN ICE TUBE AT 100 mph! I'm willing to give it a try though. Anyone know where the nearest luge training center is to Arizona?
Any other suggestions out there? Just think--when I win my gold I'll give you all the credit for the inspiration. You'll be famous too.
