Thank you so much for letting us celebrate with you!! I also sometimes think back to the grade school gym classes that I found so humiliating...there was such a long list of things I couldn't do that the other kids seemed to find so easy.
I don't pick up athletic things quickly, and just the other day I was telling someone, I wonder what might have been different about my self-image as a kid if, instead of being asked to climb a rope to the top the gym ceiling (never did get a foot off the floor), I was told to go out and just slow jog as far as I could on a whole Saturday afternoon!

Yes, Starfish! That's exactly how I felt. It was hard to be an awkward, unathletic kid. Add good grades and being a classical musician and boy was I just asking to be ridiculed!

I just want to chime in on the good words.
I'm sometimes amazed at how good getting up a hill makes me feel, so I totally cheer when I hear about others getting up hills, or even just giving things a go. Well done!
