It's a tie:

The Goofy - the WDW half marathon and full marathon on two consecutive days

or

Finishing a half marathon at 35 weeks pregnant. It wasn't pretty, but it got done.

You win, for either one.

You win, for either one.

The pregnant half marathon was definitely harder, but I'm prouder of the Goofy. I think one just sounds impressive, while the other one just sounds crazy.

Hard to say....

I have done or been the following:

1. Played softball in a "pro" league.... I got paid, but very little

2. Was a nationally ranked "Horseshoes" player in my teens

3. Tried out for Junior Olympics in wrestling - didn't make the team, but came close

4. Hit a baseball over 500'

5. I was ( still am ) a fat guy. I led my college baseball team in doubles by almost double.

6. Once scored 11 points in a row off my serve playing volleyball on a college team - I was 5' 5" and 260 pounds......

In elementary school, I won the President's Physical Fitness Award a few years. Do they even still do that? These days, I consider it a physical conquest to get out of a chair without groaning

Wow, I won this award, too. Only two kids in our elementary school got the award that year ~ 6th grade I think. They don't give that award any longer.

I also set the long jump school record that same year that stood for many years.

What I wouldn't give to be in that kind of shape these days.

When I was in 7th and 8th grade, we could choose how far we wanted to run each day in P.E. If you logged 100 miles by the end of 8th grade, you got a plaque. That plaque was the only athletic award I ever won!!!

Not getting hurt. I was not very good at organized sports but I played softball, basketball, and volleyball in high school. I also danced from the age of 4 until 18.

I was always horrible at those!! My athletic shame was on display

I beat our school's champion in the 100 yard dash. I was the new kid, so they didn't know I had it in me. That's about it when it comes to athletics.

 

[yellowlabforever]

- qualified (automatically because I was the only one in my region, but still it was qualifying) the USATF Junior National Championship in shot-put, went to Eugene Oregon and saw some amazing Olympic-like athletes competing (placed dead last too... XDD)

-Beat a linebacker for our college's football team in a game of pingpong (and I'm a 5'3 petite female)

 

[quasar4legs]

I won the attendance point score at my swimming club

3 weeks ago today, at the age of 60, without any previous training, I completed a 1 1/2 flip in the air after being ejected from my bicycle at the 77.25 mile mark of a 100 mile ride and then landed on my right shoulder. Had I taken the time to train for this event when younger, I might not now be bothered by the C6 fracture or the clavicle fracture that has put a damper on life, itself. Remember, practice makes perfect.

I also won the President's Physical Fitness Award. Our high school soccer team, of which I was co-captain, won the conference championship. I was MVP my junior year (the year we lost almost every game!)

 

[Mouse House Mama]

NYS or President's Physical Fitness Award (I don't remember what it was called). I got it numerous times. It is kind of funny though because to this day I cannot do a pullup or push up and I am a slow runner. I used to however be able to do about a million situps in a minute.

 

[indimom]

Ummm, I used to get called "Grandma" when we played softball in gym.

But, my proudest moment was in fifth grade, when all the boys were calling for everyone to move in toward the plate (since I most likely would miss, but might actually bunt it), and I hit the ball clean over the fence, had a home run and helped my team win. Yeah, me! FYI, the fence was closer than standard, but still declared a home run hit in grade school.

Oh, as for the Presidents Physical Fitness test, they still do that here. My kids have gotten a red or blue ribbon every year. DS was angry just last week because he missed his best time on the mile by a few seconds. He asked the teacher if he could run it again (they give the kids who miss the ribbon another chance to try) and the teacher said "Why, You got the ribbon, that's all I care." Brilliant. Way to teach a kid to try their best.

Completeing the WDW Full Marathon in January 2011.
Not bad for a fat middle-aged broad.

I managed to get a full certification in STOTT Pilates in my 50's. No small feat at ANY age.

 

[bombygriz]

Bowled a 175 at my first state meet. All luck, no talent! xD

 

[LuvCuteBoys]

I was at the greatest comeback in NFL history.

Hey, if you can't be an athlete... be an athletic supporter
