I’ve been getting back into the swing of running again lately. It feels great! Yes, I still hem and haw about it, and I’m still a run/walker, but I’m running MORE and walking LESS and feeling better during and after, so I’m pretty pleased with myself. My fitness is doing well, thanks for asking 🙂

With that said, let’s remind you of a few upcoming events:

This Saturday, CDM Mind and Body 5k and Fitness Event.

June 7: My birthday AND the Creve Coeur Heart to Heart Run (link goes to a giveaway, which is closed, thanks to all you who entered! but also includes all kinds of great information about the event.)

And June 15 I’m doing the Go All-American 5K and hoping to get a better time than I have in a long time. My goal is to run the whole way…I think I’m putting myself in good shape to do that?

It looks to be a busy month of running, and I’m excited! I’m trying to get myself used to the heat and the sun, by, you know, being out in it. So far it’s working…I’d better keep it up though.

I’ve learned a few things about myself: I really do generally need to get my workout done earlier in the day or I don’t want to do it. Today I thought I’d go for a run after a rehearsal and before teaching, but I got on the phone, and then had a stack of things to take care of and didn’t have time.

Oh, AND teaching from home has been THE BEST. I used to look forward to the end of school with a vengeance, and now I’m surprised by it, because I’m just not as worn out. I’m so happy I’m teaching private students at home, because it just doesn’t even feel that much like working (oh, how much difference windows make) and I’m just loving it. I’m so glad this is working out well, and I hope it continues to in the future, as it’s been the best thing that I’ve done for my career 🙂 Not that I didn’t like the school I taught at before, because I did, and I miss some of those kids a bunch, but it’s just easier and more comfortable having everything I need at hand and not having to commute.
