just did it

in keeping with my theme of the year of "just do it",i put an idea in my head that i wanted to do something...and today, i did it!!

i am very fortunate to live in north tacoma and be within walking distance of many great and beautiful things. the tacoma waterfront,starbucks(haha?), and the stadium bowl at stadium high school,to name a few of my faves. during the summer i took a few walks from my house to the stadium bowl and would always see people running up and down those gross,steep,loooong stairs. i could barely walk up the stairs one time...why the heck would anyone wanna do it MULTIPLE times?? ON PURPOSE????

well,tonight,i decided that I would do it multiple times...on purpose!

after i came home from work i walked to stadium high school(1.3 miles),climbed from the left side of the stairs in that picture alllll the way to the right side of the picture(up+down 5 times) the picture doesn't even do it justice on how steep and long these stairs are. i would be climbing and swear that i was almost to the top...only to see i wasn't even halfway up!!but i pushed through...and did NOT die! even though i swore i was going to. twice. i then walked the mile point three back to my house.

i can't even tell you how proud i am of myself! i even tried to cheat and told myself to cut some of the stairs out...but i knew i would be mad at myself for it when i was done. i have a such a great feeling of accomplishment right now,i feel kinda like superwoman! i can do anything!...except probably not tomorrow. pretty sure i'm not going to be able to walk tomorrow.

i'm so glad that i chose to just DO things instead of talking or thinking about doing them because i LOVE the feeling i get after i'm done. it's such a great natural high...i can't wait to choose my next adventure!!(actually,it's already chosen..you'll just have to wait til feb 12th to hear about it...bwahaha)
