*Last time we went skydiving, Bryce and I decided that it completely counts as exercise, because it’s like running, only more vertical. And faster — which makes it harder. You wouldn’t believe how quickly we managed to cover 2.5 miles. With people strapped to our backs. Afterwards we rewarded our hard, hard work by stopping at a roadside cherry stand and getting heaps and heaps of the most luscious cherries I’ve ever had — and my first of the season, no less. (Cherries are, in case you’re unaware, the most perfect fruit, and a pleasure greater even than bananas or morning oatmeal.)
My tandem instructor told me my form was “text-book perfect” and that I could’ve made the jump myself. And we did two flips. And lots of spinning. It? Rocked. I can’t wait to go again.
