Music

I have a family history of musicality from my fathers side of the family and passion from both sides. My personal history includes piano lessons that my dad traded landscaping with the local piano teacher for, first chair french horn in middle school, singing throughout highschool (which I didn't get over my stage fright fear until college) at many wonderful weddings and I took a beginning guitar class in college (with a very cheap guitar that couldn't hold its tune. My teacher said it belong in a fire. LOL)

I miss singing. Its a part of me that needs nourishing. Those of you who have experienced this outlet of creativity can attest that you know when its lacking. You know when its time to fuel that part of your soul. However, my rock and roll band days are done. I don't want to devote the time to commit to meeting with other musicians. I don't want to subject my body to smoky bars. I find myself longing to sing :-) childrens songs. What I want... I want to play the guitar and sing to my little girl. I want to see her twirl and dance and jump and sing with me. I want to write her a song to tell her about the world and the joy she brings to it for me. I want her to hear and feel my love surrounding her through music.

Next order of business.

1. Get a guitar. (affordable :-))
2. Learn to play said guitar.
3. Continue step 2... forever. LOL.

Photos are of a couple bands I was in from college. Ahhh memories. Good times (except for the playing til 4 am (waiting to get paid til 5am... class or work the next day and ears hurting from speakers being so loud.)

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Running

Spring Fever has ignited a running passion in at least half of the patients coming in.

Its very exciting to be part of such a health minded community. Running isn't the only exercise of course but it does lend itself to be easy to take up.

Cheering on our patients who are headed to Boston in a couple weeks as well as those who are training for their first Indianapolis Mini. Exciting to finally feel the spring happenings cycle in.

Of those who come in the most common mistakes are.

1. Not staying hydrated.
2. Not stretching at all.
3. Too much too fast.
4. Wearing really old shoes to run in.

Catch the Spring Training bug and go for it!

I haven't run since before my pregnancy. I jogged... maybe twice but didn't stick with it long enough to get the good... I love running feeling. There is nothing like that feeling even with cycling or yoga... its different. Each practice has their own... in the moment zen feel. You know it if you run and you don't get it any other way if you don't. I'm looking forward to enjoying the better weather by getting out. 
Cheers!
