So sore!

I went Snowboarding last night for the first time in my life. Now those of you who know anything about me know I am not the most athletic person. I was a little frightened. I have been skiing like 3 times in my life-spaced over my entire lifetime. So this was a big deal. Well, I did pretty well, and I actually enjoyed it-until I woke up this morning, that is. I have never been so sore inall my life! I hurt EVERYWHERE!!! Ouch! It was worth it, though. It was really fun. I think it is something I'd do again, even. I think I spent more time on my butt than I did up on the board, but I hear that's pretty normal for first-timers. Rich warned me ahead of time that I would fall tons, and I definitely did not prove him wrong. Tonya (Rich's sister) had never been snowboarding before either, but I think she is superwoman. She was boarding straight down on her first time. No surprises there, though. She is like the best athlete I know. Rich was so incredibly patient with me. He stayed with me the whole time teaching me & helping me up & encouraging me. I'm sure he was dying to go off on his own, but he stayed right with me until I couldn't pull myself up anymore (literally). Then he went on his own a little. But, it was a blast. I recommend it to everyone-even all the cowards out there. I did it, didn't I?
