Now I Want to Play Basketball, and –
Our new neighbors have teenage sons, and a hoop in the driveway of our new house. Every time I drive around it, my heart goes pounding! I want to start shooting that hoop. Gods, I haven’t play basketball sine I was a teen. That’s what, 20 years? More? Scary. But I wanna. I think I will crack up and buy a ball one of this trips to super-market.
It was a glorious weekend. I went to the Fitness Theory course to start my fitness instructor certification process; really good information, awsome tips for my own workouts, lots of things I felt intuitevly explained… great!
My mood was dampened a bit by the second course’s cancellation, so I don’t know when I can re-schedule with our busy life, but I am determined to do it!
I had a couple beautiful runs. Weather tuned to autumn, and boy, is it perfect for running. Crips air, golden leaves, huge sunrises… Aww, nature wants us to be outdoors!
I took my toddler shopping for groceries yesterday night, after the course. Normally I dislike that, but this time I involved her into finding foods in our ever-changing Superstore layout, so we chanted together: Where are the Chickpeas?! Chickpeas, chickpeas! Now, where is the pasta hiding?! and so on… so it was one giant Easter egg hunt. I stopped feeling tired half-way through it.
On top of it, I was not abnormally hungry yesterday. An awsome day… too bad it’s back to work today, after a whole weekend at an intensive course. But, I have a newfound mantra (got it during running hills): I am strong. I will prevail!
And now I want to play basketball.

I love basketball. I played for 6 years in school. I say go for it! It will be great fun for you!!
Glad to hear you had an awesome weekend! That is so cute about the grocery store.
I am sure your kiddo loved it too.
Sounds like a brilliant weekend girlie. Love the way you handled your daughter when you were food shopping.
I played basketball in high school too, and LOVED IT!! It’s actually what helped me go from chubby kid to fit teenager, so I have a *special* love for it.
OMG I wish I had some friends who loved it like I do. All I have is my 17 year old brother, who is more than 1/2 a foot taller than me and will NOT go easy on me. lol Not much fun! Again Leida, I’m wishing we were neighbors. 
Thanks, ladies! There are plenty folks here I wish were living next door! I am wondering if I get a basketball if I can convince my husband to shoot the hoop with me for a few minutes now and then.
2 years ago my husband put up a hoop in our backyard “for our daughter”….of course he and I have used it tons more than she. Lots of fun….go get that ball!!!
oh wow a fitness instructor i bet that you will be wonderful at it.
so will you go for it.
You should join them! There are kids next door to my house who play but I am not a huge basketball person.
How fun!! I am too short for basketball!!
