Rock Wall

If you do not know me particularly well, let me share one piece of my personality with you. And for those of you who do know me well, I am sure you will agree with me on this... I am kind of a wuss-or however you prefer to call it-wimpy, pansy, etc. Mentally, emotionally... maybe not, but physically-FOR SURE! Like I'm not a dare devil at all when it comes to doing new, crazy physical activities like skiing, four wheeling, mountain biking etc. etc. But, I am proud to say I am slowly getting better and branching out. With that being said, I climbed a rock wall today!!! I am SO proud of myself!

Inside the Rush (fitness center-if you don't live near one) they have a rock climbing wall. I realize, for all you REAL rock climbers, that this is probably a joke to you, but seriously... that wall is WAY high! Every time I work out I enjoy seeing people on it, but have never considered actually doing it. So, I met my friend Tricia there tonight and she suggested for us to climb the wall before we went to our pilates class. I only did the easy side, but I am still very excited about it! I am still trying to get over the fear part of being so high. My stomach got a little queasy and it is quite a workout! Whew! All it took was someone asking me to do it. So, maybe some of you out there should start asking me to do more things, and I just might say yes! Accomplishing new things is a great feeling!
