Potential
I read a bunch of other blogs, but my recent obsession is with the blog of Fist Candy and her husband Mr. Candy (Katie and Kevin, respectively, if you like proper names and all).
These guys climb mountains. Fist Candy goes to a few derby practices a week and for 10 mile runs regularly. Well, at least when she's not climbing mountains. When I think of climbing a mountain, it seems like it would be the most monumental thing I would do, ever, and I would not neccessarily expect to survive. From what I can gather, they do things like this regularly and, oddly enough, seem to enjoy it. A lot.
This is what bodies can do. I have so much potential in this currently, and unfortunately, sedentary body. In my limited exposure to Fist Candy, she doesn't have any obvious bionic parts. This is just what she does with her bones and her muscles and her mind.
I don't know if I'll ever climb a mountain, but when everything in my back and butt is in proper working order, I'm going to start realizing this potential. Wasting it is just wrong.

Ha ha you shouldn't pay attention to me! I am just a crazy nut. Admire more sane, reasonable people. I didn't mean to be this activity crazed, just I really like roller derby, and I really like mountain climbing, and then my best friend from childhood said she wanted to come out her and run the Portland marathon with me.
