watch: virginia beach [and me] breaks a world record!

You guys.... If I start acting all high and mighty and way cooler than you all of the sudden, it's for good reason. As of Friday morning, I'm now a Guinness World Record holder.

Okay, I'm one of 1085 people who became one, but still! We all came together in the sleeting weather to do a cartwheel at one time, and it was freaking awesome!

Here's a simple video from the Virginian Pilot:


I did a one-handed one because I wanted to try and capture the moment [and try to get Corey and our radio friend JoJo's first ever cartwheels on tape]... This is the result:

Seriously, it seems so simple, but we felt so accomplished, and I still feel pretty effing cool. To the gyms who helped put this on and all the people who came out: THANK YOU!

my quick celebration of national gymnastics day

Saturday was National Gymnastics Day, and I really wanted to do a video of myself and tons of other people doing gymnastics all over the town, nation, world, whatever... but I didn't get sent anyone's pictures/videos! Sad face. 

It's nothing new to see me doing cartwheels and handstands in public, but the first time I did one on camera on Saturday, this happened: 

Shoe. In the fountain. In Georgetown in DC. I was then barefoot for the walk to the car.. but that's also not unusual.

I'm a klutz. Welcome to my life. 

love,
