I am so not<\/em> an athlete. Indeed, today I thought I was going to die during the last round of the WOD. Stupid box jumps. After every three or four jumps (and there were twenty<\/em> in each round…along with ten<\/em> wall balls and ten<\/em> knees-to-elbows<\/span> knees-to-somewhere-around-my-navel…five rounds! Great googly moogly!), I collapsed onto my knees with my face against the box. I finished in about twice the time everybody else took. Granted, I was having an asthma attack, but I still felt like a weakling.<\/p>\n

When my sister and I were training to walk a marathon<\/a> the first time, she bought us both Nike shirts that just had the swoosh and the word ATHLETE on them. We wore them ironically, of course, but we worried that others would think we sincerely imagined ourselves bad-asses. Wa said she kept meaning to take a Sharpie and put quotation marks around it.<\/p>\n

That being said, remember my hissy fit<\/a> (OK, hissy fitS<\/a>) about people telling me I’ve lost weight? The hissy fits I had because, when they tell me that, I’ve never actually lost weight? Well, I guess I have because people keep saying it.<\/p>\n

I don’t see it on the scale, but then again I don’t weigh myself much. I don’t feel it in my clothes, but with my ghetto ass, it takes a lot to feel a difference. I remember back that one<\/em> time I did<\/em> lose weight, people would chirp, “Ten pounds is a pants size!” I lost 25 pounds and barely<\/em> went from a 16 to a 14. (For you dudes, that’s one pants size.)<\/p>\n

Anywhoodle, I am definitely getting harder, better, faster, stronger.<\/p>\n

But I’m not an athlete.<\/p>\n

Signing off,<\/p>\n
