It was most certainly below freezing at the starting line and coming off of being sick, I knew I wouldn't be setting any personal records in last weekend's 4 mile race.

Do a Triathlon

Learn to Fly
Trapeze School was exactly what I imagined it to be... Exhilarating and terrifying. First few flies were on my own, which I could handle. I have enough confidence in myself to trust that my body would do what it needed to do - I would hang from the trapeze with the greatest of ease.
But the last 2 times were "catches". I would swing in sync with an instructor on another trapeze and trust that he would catch me as I flew thru the air. WHAT?? What if the timing isn't right? What if he doesn't catch me? What if I fall?
Miraculously, we were completely in sync, and as his hands grabbed hold of my arms I was able to let go... And trust completely.... Knowing that IF I needed it, there's always a safety net below and I'd climb back up that ladder and try again!
