When I woke up this morning and walked to the kitchen to make my coffee, I could feel almost every muscle in my long leg and in my butt. Amazing. With the all the skiing, hiking, and soccer I did in my twenties, you'd think I'd have discovered my butt muscles before, but I hadn't.
Maybe it's because my backside had never been so jiggly as it's gotten lately. Maybe because I went from losing my leg to exercising whenever I used it. Maybe I just wasn't as tuned in to my body in my twenties. But I was this morning and I have to say that having buns of steel is a seductive prize. I wouldn't set out with that as my goal, but if it is a side benefit, I'll take it.
About Me
- Colleen
- 100 Miles in 100 Days for 100 Legs. Everyday, starting April 2nd, I am walking a mile for 100 days to raise enough money for the Prosthetic Outreach Foundation to fund 100 legs for amputees in developing countries. A mile a day may not sound like much, but as an amputee for 32 years who has struggled with mobility and body changes, a mile is a challenge. The right prosthetic makes a difference and the Prosthetic Outreach Foundation makes a difference in the lives of amputees around the world.
