A work in progress! I am competetive and love challenging myself.
For example:
I joined an elite adults dance and performing group in my mid-30’s and was in a number of shows including local dance and theatre productions, the Chief of Police’s Retirement dinner, flashmobs, community events, competitions, and performances. I worked hard, had fun, and made connections with others in the community. I was awarded “Most Promising Dancer in Contemporary” in 2017, and “Most Outstanding Dancer in Street Jazz” in 2018.
I was inspired to join “Run for Water” in 2017 and be part of a team from the community raising money in a loved one’s name for a well in Africa to be built. After the initial run, I felt that I could run better if I trained a little harder. I joined again the following year and finished 7th in my age group. I ran one more race and also did the “Foam Fest’ in 2019. I began hiking the same year with a local hiking group and spent many early mornings at the top of the Abby Grind enjoying the view with fellow hikers.
In 2020, I took up another new hobby: Disc Golfing! I have worked hard at trying to lower my personal best over the past 3 years and have succeeded in bringing my scores from an average of +18-20 down to a personal best of +5. This is a great sport and I highly encourage others to try! It’s very cost effective, with discs priced under $20, and $0 in green fees. Disc Golfing has been a great addition to my life and has contributed to my work-life balance.
As stated before, I love a challenge! In the summer of 2023, I was taken bungee jumping as a surprise. I am scared of heights. This was the scariest thing I have ever done, but I needed to do it because I knew if I didn’t I would be mad at myself for a missed opportunity. It was amazing! I did cry and scream, but it was worth it!
He made me do it!
