challenges

as i think of this post i have probably already wrote something just like it but oh well...who cares...

there are goals i have set for myself, challenges that i have wanted to do and i am proud to say i have completed them.

i have always wanted to sky dive, and I DID IT, i did a tandem dive about 20 years ago. It was amazing and everything i thought it would be and i would do it again in a heartbeat.

i have always wanted to scuba dive, after meeting my NOW husband he already has his certification and we planned a trip to cayman islands and i had to get certified, i did the quickie weekend deal. it was hard, way harder than i thought. i was held back in the class and it turned into 3 weekends. There was one part I could not get. You had to be able to remove your regulator (the piece in your mouth that enabled you to breath) you had to keep it out of your mouth while under water for a certain amount of time and then replace and continue to breath from your regulator while under water. I could not get it. As soon as I took it out of my mouth i would blow out very fast and then feel like i was dying for air and pop up to get my breath. Finally one of the instructors who had to take on my sad case explained it like this "pretend you are making the s sound, instead of blowing out." CLICK. it worked, after that i was able to take my regulator out for as long as i had to and even longer if need be. I took my open water test in the cayman and passed and now have my scuba certification and we have gone on several trips. 

I have wanted to do a half marathon. last year i trained and completed it.

I have always wanted to do a sprint tri, this year i trained and completed 3 !!!
