Life has been a whirlwind the past couple of weeks. Due to Mother Nature and Martin Luther King Jr. I've had two 4 day weeks in a row. Sweet. I've actually kind of gotten used to it - so I think next week is going to be a real shock. 5 days will probably feel like 5 weeks. Igh.
At least the New Year's resolutions are going well. Eeks - should I report that on here? Now I'll be held accountable!!! Actually - I don't believe in "New Year's resolutions". I like to think of the New Year as a time to start anew - turn over a new leaf - get rid of bad habits and start new and improved habits. Ok, ok... I know - sounds like "resolutions" - but they aren't, I swear. Sooooo - I've decided to that I'm going to spend my hour or so lunch breaks in a practice room either practicing or at least vocalizing - and even if it can't be a full hour I'm still going to do it. None of this all or nothing crap that I tend to pull. I come home so often in the evenings and just can't pull myself to get out the piano and the music and practice so unless I have a lunch meeting or have an overabundance of work to do, lunchtime is devoted to Mozart, Wolf, Haydn, Purcell...and the likes.
The other goal for this year is to run a 1/2 marathon. Started to train for it last year but turned out the race was 2 days before the concerto competition so I decided to train with the buddies but forgo the race. This spring is it. I need to get back into training mode! Words of encouragement anyone? It's so darn cold outside!!!!
Great Bay Half-Marathon here I come!!!
