I am a natural bodysurfer. I could possibly break the Jersey record for the most number of waves caught in a week's vacation, if I ever started counting, and if there were such a record.
Ten years ago, my wife and I drove across the country and I got to catch waves in my two favorite oceans in the same week. If I'm lucky, heaven will be a beach with high tide, warm sun, and a huge storm about 1000 miles out at sea. |

| Has to be running, much to skinny to do much else to a high standard. Except perhaps maybe caving, but I reckon I would get claustrophobic. |

Maybe it's not a true sport but I am a natural hiker/backpacker. I can go for hours and hours with or without a backpack. I don't get tired, I never feel uncomfortable hiking solo. Love mountains and whenever I have a free weekend that's where I usually go. Now that I have discovered running, trails are calling. Normally I can run trails only once a week if I am lucky. Maybe I need to move closer to the wilderness.

I am a lifelong soccer player that began at age 4. I started running in middle school to stay in shape for soccer. Through high school I was pigeon holed as a distance runner (coach didn't have much of a clue), became a sprinter in college, and now i'm a college track and xc coach because of my college coach.
Of course we all know the good thing about being a coach: We don't HAVE to run if we choose not to!! HAHA. |

I've been told I was a natural ballerina. I danced from age 4 up until college. I would have loved to make dancing a career, but I don't have the right body type for it (tall but muscular not slender). I still love the way dancing makes me feel; it is such an expressive sport. Once I have some more spending money I would love to start taking classes again.
The funny thing is that I still "turn out" my feet constantly. When I got fitted for my last pair of running shoes, the guy watching me run was amazed at how I run with my feet turned out. No pronation issues, but the turnout from my hips seems to be permanently drilled into my body. |

Nothing--my whole life I've been "okay" at lots of different sports (tennis, baseball, golf, basketball, soccer, etc) and "good" at none of them. I can hold my own, but have never excelled. The only thing I've ever been "naturally" good at is spelling. Lucky me...  |

| XC Skiing. And by that, I mean pretty much any sport that involves hot chocolate in a camelbak. |
| Some runners drag a tire. I drag a Great Pyrenees. |

| After last weekend, I am quite sure I am not a natural at golf. I was horrible. The marshal should have taken away my clubs... |

Or maybe Frangelica - my favorite addition to hot chocolate.

Ooh, that's hazelnut isn't it? That would be good, too! Heck, just put coffee in my Camelbak, then!

Heh, my mom and dad used to x-country ski a lot, and they almost always had peppermint Schnapps or peppermint Schnapps + hot chocolate in a bota bag.
I now know that "I'm going out skiing" was my dad's code for "I'm gonna ski a little bit and get lit in the process." Not that there's anything wrong with that -- I had to get it from somewhere.
