When and where

Hey Everyone!

Long time no blog.


So...running has been hard this week because of weather.  It's been SO RAINY here that I haven't gone out because I'm afraid of getting sick! Which made me wonder....

When is it okay to stop running?

I know that Runner's World would say as long as you feel okay and there's no lighting or weather hazards that you should be out running.  But as an actor, I need to make sure all of me is up to snuff for auditions- so should you run when it's chilly out and risk being stuffed up?  Is there a combo one can do? Like "it's okay to run outside as long as you have two hours to warm up" or something like that.  Does that even make sense?

I'm beginning to realize that the pull of being an actor and an athlete is going to be much harder than it was in high school.  When I was in high school and college, I had my schedule LOCKED DOWN. I was so organized!  And now being a real adult I feel like I'm floundering.  I can't even put out YouTube videos and blog posts weekly!  AND I'm trying to plan a wedding AND trying to have a social life? WHO AM I KIDDING- I'M NOT AN ADULT I JUST WANT ICE CREAM.

Slight weirdness besides, life is busy and good right now.  I'm feeling a little bit less "thick" so that is an improvement.  I'm trying to aim for healthy but that definition is fleeting and ever changing.  I guess I have to take it just a day at a time...but that's kinda hard when you're impatient like me.

I went home this weekend and got to wear my first ever running shirt and it was a bit of nostalgia and gave me a bit of a spark to start running again (which is convenient since my next race is in like 3 weeks!). It was nice to have a reminder of why I do what I'm doing...I only hope that everyone gets that moment at least once.

Look! It's me!

Alright- enough rambling.

Your 'pin-spiration' for the week

Until next time, keep running strong!
