I am an Athlete

Last night my littlest boy wanted to play the game of Life. I didn't really want to play. I had a sinus headache, I just wanted to lay back in my pajamas and chill. But he was so sweet in how he asked, (multiple times), that I just had to say "yes"!

After choosing to go to "college" and taking out $40K worth of loans I got to choose a career and salary. I had three career choices, teacher, banker, or Athlete. I chose Athlete. I had just run an 8K the day before. I had surpassed my goal of 9 1/ 2 minute miles. And I had just spent the morning "brunching" with my Tri Girls. What the heck? I was going to be an Athlete! So, I told Little Bear and do you know what that little fellow said..."Like you already are!" My God, I was proud!

I've never thought of myself as an athlete. I'm just someone who dabbles in fitness and has recently become a triathlete, (a SPRINT triathlete, but a triathlete none the less!).

So there it is, from the mouth of my youngest boy...I am an Athlete!
