A Great and Gruesome Height

I went to my first hockey lesson tonight. Wow, I have a ton to learn and that’s just about skating. There are about 25 of us in the class, only three women, myself included. It feels do-able though, I 'm physically up for it. I feel my legs tonight though. I feel my entire body. We kayaked a little yesterday. We rode 20 miles today (Janice, Sunil and I) and I ran for an hour (no idea on distance). Anyway, I feel tired but good.

I really like the Propel "Fit has a Feeling" advertisement. Obviously they imply the feeling is extremely positive and that is the catch of the ad. I totally get it. But it got me thinking about the feeling. I get it because without that feeling I probably would not bother. I cycle and walk humongous distances, run a bit, take up hockey etc because it simply feels good. Something kicks in and I'm high. It's the best. God knows I don’t do it to for chiseled abs or legs or whatever. That stuff is not going to happen to me. My thighs, bust, etc were not designed for that. Despite the fact that this is not PC to say; my personal body was designed to breed. And I am not kidding. Betraying my body’s design is part of my personal design. Anyway, back to the point of “fit has a feeling.” I realized you can apply that statement to many things like “gardening has a feeling” or “doing anything well has a feeling.” (Smart has a feeling, brave has a feeling, best has a feeling, voting has a feeling.) How awesome is that?

A bit of a rant: Easter is coming upon us like a plague of chocolate covered locusts and Cadbury Eggs. Is anyone else tired of the cyclical redundancy of annual scheduled calendar events and their sugary commercial accompaniment? If I see another candy cane, valentine, shamrock, Easter egg I will... Sigh...

OK, That is it for now. Now what will I read tonig... Zzzzzzzz...
