Exercise

As a wee child, my dream job was to be a PE teacher. The more I've seen how much a good PE teacher has to do in a day (my very athletically talented husband swears that subbing for PE was the toughest sub job he ever took), the more I feel like I dodged a bullet. But did I? Somehow I've ended up coaching XC Skiing for many years now. I don't think the odds on that one were very high: a girl who was born (and partially raised) in New Mexico grows up to become a XC Ski Coach in Alaska.

Weird.

Beyond my winter job though, I would describe myself as a recreational athlete (not even a weekend warrior!) so don't be here expecting blistering fast times or any of that nonsense. I just think that exercise is a vital component to being healthy and if I can help others to become life long athletes, then that is even better.

... Did I just get too coach-y?
