Don't Be A Hater (alternate title: stepping outside one's comfort zone)

Taking It On.

That's the title.

If you think I roll over and succumb to peer pressure, you don't know me very well. 

What would be the most uncomfortable thing for me to do?

Sparkle.

goofing on the sparkle...big time.

What's that expression?

Do something every day that scares you.

Right?

So I sparkled.

l. to r.: erin, jennifer, elizabeth, amanda, katie, me, tall tyler smith

quintessential cheesy cheerleader jump mandatory.

(l. to r.: amanda, me, jennifer, katie, elizabeth)

Elizabeth was the only natural sparkler in our van.

But I got the bitch on. And I ran.

And I ran well.

And when the running was over, I was glad to have sparkled.

Oooooo....look at me! I'm sooooo pretty!

And if you really think that's what I got out of the sparkle,

you missed the whole point of this post.

Many thanks to Nuun for another unforgettable Hood to Coast Relay experience!

I'll be back at the end of the week after a little family vacation to recap it for you all....

when you're all super sick of all the recaps... 

BOOM!... mine will show up. 

Lucky you :)
