this past week in class there was a fraction of the normal amount of people. this can only mean one thing: we will have room to practice inversions. being relatively new to having arm muscles, I tend to shy away from anything that would expose this weakness, BUT that day was different. there was a light inside me that made me try this seemingly unachievable feat. I kicked up a few times by myself into a forearm stand (the arm balance that uses the most shoulder muscles, which I'm not convinced I have yet). then the instructor came over to offer a little support, and it happened. yes, he helped me balance out, but then he let go. and I didn't fall!! who is this person?!
it's moments like these that remind me to try new things because you will never know how strong you are until you take the first step, and you actually might surprise yourself!
**this week is going to be all kinds of messed up, but I promise a {week}end update from Memphis is coming**
