Tales of a Wannabe Athlete

Tales of a Wannabe Athlete

My friends and family know that I have a penchant for signing up for athletic challenges that are way beyond the norm for a Jewish Princess from Atlanta. I am not particularly athletically inclined, but since I was little, I have dreamed of being strong, fast and fierce. Unfortunately, I may have not been meant for Olympic glory probably because I was the girl always asking about snack time and not particularly good about following the rules.  My family still loves to retell the story of my father driving to my boarding school in Massachusetts for my championship Ice Hockey game only to find that I had been retired to the penalty box for the entire game after hitting a girl with my hockey stick. She was too close to me, Jeez!
