Last year I made a goal to run a marathon. I have been wanting to run a marathon since high school. Finally after talking with Ben, I just decided to do it. I registered for one, and there was no turning back....I paid $90, and no refund...so I had to do it.
This coming year I decided that I am going to compete in the National Hoop Dance Competition down in Arizona. I have been dancing for almost 9 years, and I have talked about going for the last 6 years. Every year around the time of the competition I always find some excuse not to go....Living Legends 10 day tour, no money, pregnant...I always find something.
Well this year, I have no excuses. Especially since gas prices are falling, and my sister just moved to Arizona, about a mile away from the competition...I have to go!
When I dance at Pow Wows or for other events, people always ask if I ever have, and when I tell them I haven't they tell me I should. I am not expecting to go past the first round, but I think it will be a good experience. I will be competing against both females and males (there still isn't a big enough showing of females to have our own competition...that is why I don't think I will make it very far.) I have a very different style of dancing, and I don't know yet how well I will be preceived at a national level with other great hoop dancers.
But I tell you this because I can't register prior to the competition, I have to register there. So by telling people I am going to compete is my way of registering. I have to now complete my task! The competition is at the beginning of February, and I still haven't started training hard....I should start! Wish me Luck!
