I’m a 42 year old high school English teacher who would rather be climbing, mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, or writing about one of the above. This doesn’t mean I’m a bad teacher. I’m actually a really good teacher. There are just other things I would rather be doing more.
I question myself all the time. Nose diving off a wave, clenching my brakes down a hill, scared above a draw, squinting back tears because a fall actually hurt. But I tell myself that believe in the journey, so I read books, make goals, rehab, pre-hab, hit my protein goals, buy knee pads, butt pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, and get back out. I try to write about it here: thoughts, goals, mistakes, plans, injuries, nutrition. I write about it all to inspire myself and hopefully others as well. But wow is it hard.
