Inspired

Quick question, if you could be any professional athlete in the world who would you be?

Could my pick be any more obvious?  Oh Kara, you are my running idol.

    Most inspired by some yogis. The ancient ashtanga masters and my guru in San Diego, Tim Miller. He is my yoga idol. The thoughts of idolizing a yoga teacher though are almost anti-yoga b/c it “attaches” you, and we try to let go, detach, so it’s interesting, food for thought :)

    Does it have to be a women? I am obsessed with Lance Armstrong and Mario Lemiuex. Both cancer survivors and hard workers. I hope we don’t find out later in life that Lance did use steroids…I still hold on to hope that he never has!

    Dara Torres…she’s fierce and over 40 and her body rocks!

    Yes…I agree with the Dara Torres comment above! And if I had to be a guy I’d probably be Tom Brady…hot, rich, smart, etc. I’d stare at my rugged good looks in the mirror all day.

    Clara Hughes because she does double-duty (summer and winter Olympics). Although to be labelled an “athlete” (any athlete at all) would be awesome.

    The only ever award I got for sports was the “coach’s award” for curling in high school. Basically the award for someone who is enthusiastic, tries hard, and wishes they were good but in fact sucks.

    I would be Tiger Woods!! haha, no, but I think Nick would, UGH.
    I guess I would be that swimmer, Natalie Coglin. I just think she is so inspirational because she is amazing at her sport and yet she isn’t all about herself. She seems so real (but what do I know?!) AND she got to be on Iron Chef America and taste all that amazing food. Yep, I’d be her :)

    I would be Misty May Trenor! To have my job being playing volleyball on the beach….. I don’t think it gets much better than that!

    I would have no idea, I don’t follow any sports of any kind.
