Sometimes I Surprise Myself

Okay so a funny thing that happened on Sunday at Fenway - during the locker room hand release pushups they have Navy guys in there. So I’m flying through my pushups with ease and one of the dudes goes “she looks like she could clap”. I laugh and keep going. Oh shit - he’s serious - he eggs me on. I have literally never even tried to clap but know that I can do power pushups where your hands come off the ground at Orangetheory so thought hmmmm - I wonder if I can 🤔 So I finished my 15th hand release push-up rep and thought what the hell…I did an extra rep 16 with a clap. And I’ll be damned - flawless! Then yelled - that 16th rep was for you sir! And I was yesterday days/years old when I found out I can indeed do a pushup with a clap 😂

So try the hard thing - dare to fail. Nothing bad will happen (and I would have laughed this one off if I had fallen on my face). But you just might surprise yourself. The thing is you’ll never know if you don’t go for it!
