Sunday inspiration

Hey everyone!

So, this isn't going to be a long post (probably).

I have running to do.

I have auditions to get ready for.

I have a wedding to plan.

I have a life to live.

And I just want to take a moment and say that Justin Timberlake had an amazing speech at the iHeart radio award show.  He ended it with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt that I have below.  Read it.

Excuse me, I now have a fire under my ass and shit that needs to get done.  It won't get done in one day, but it's nice to get a kick in the ass every once in a while.

Until next time, keep running strong!

Getting the groove back

Hey everyone!

So...it's still really cold in Chicago...but I'm getting my groove back.  I FINALLY have started running at lunch again (which shouldn't seem like such a big deal...but it is) and getting my health a little bit more under control.  I still feel a little doughy, still think there is more I can do but I am at least getting off my rear and doing something about it.

Theatre stuff is going well- auditions are still happening and I'm attempting to see more theatre (Book of Mormon with a bunch of USD alumni to watch a fellow classmate kill it as Cunningham on Tuesday has been the highlight so far for theatre this month). So I'm getting that area filled.

Wedding stuff is going okay, it's getting to the point where there isn't much to do until about two months before, which is frightening but also really exciting.  It's five months away...oh my goodness.

I hope that everyone who feels in a funk can find whatever they need to get out of it; luckily for me it was running (first run of spring and on it I got an email about an audition...truly good things come to those who run).  But it can be anything! Knitting! Cooking! Reading!  Just find the thing that helps you feel more like you than embrace it and protect it.  I'm not saying that you won't stumble; you will.  But remember that it has made you happy and can again.

Morning ramblings over.

Until next time, keep running strong!

Spring...cleaning? Waking Up?

Hey everyone!

I feel sluggish.  Like really sluggish.  I have only gone running twice since the half marathon.

Let me first state that I really didn't think I'd ever be a person who complained about not running, but I digress.


I haven't been writing, I haven't been posting and all of these things would be okay if I was doing stuff for the wedding or auditioning a ton but I really haven't been.  I've been auditioning...but now a lot of the shows auditioning are now too close to the wedding to be considered...which is fine! But then I should be getting other work done!

I have a plethora of excuses but it boils down to Netflix and my couch are very comfortable.  And while that is good...it's not as well.  I want to stay healthy.  I want to stay in good shape, hell,  I want to get into better shape.  So I need to get off my butt and do it! After work....

On a completely un-related note...Bo Burnham is amazing live.  Mike bought me a ticket to his show for Christmas and we saw him and we were FRONT ROW.  And it was magic.  And I love that I have listened to many of his bits and they're not just consistently funny but he (to my mind) has been staying true to himself and that's cool as an artist to see.

But I guess I hope that if you get anything out of this...I hope that you realize (and that through the process of writing this I will realize it) that it's not to late to start and no matter how long it's been you can get going and get started.  It's all within us...we just need to do it.  But also- we need to be nice to ourselves and not completely beat ourselves up when it happens.

Your 'pin-spiration' for the week

Until next time, keep running strong!
