Can you have it all ?

It has been a while since I have written anything, so here goes. 1. I did not do the Flying Pig Marathon , I did not feel like I was properly trained , and ready to walk 26.2 miles , but there is always next year right. 2. I have been in kinda of a dancer funk.....I love dancing , I am addicted to the dance , a day without dance is like a day without sunshine, but yeah have been feeling like I was in a slump. So it seems I was always going to shows, and never in the shows so last week I danced my first solo at the GMH. It was'nt the greatest , but it was'nt the worst thing people have ever seen......... So this weekend I did a race , my first race this season....I came in 3rd place overall! I may be rusty but I still got it baby! Anyway is it possible to have tw o loves , and practice and drill to do both hobbies correctly. To be a better dancer you have to drill , and practice. To be a fast walker you have to practice ( i am a racewalker in case you have not guessed ) . So my question is .....can I have it all ?

Marathon Training

This blog has nothing to do with belly dancing, but with my other passion.....race walking. I am currently training to walk the Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday May 6. I have done 2 half marathons , and felt mentally I am ready to do the whole marathon (26.2 miles). Well Saturday the training schedule called for me to walk 10 miles. Honey let me tell you that was a long 10 miles. I know that the more I train , 10 miles will seem like a piece of cake. I am still a little sore, but still looking forward to my long walk this coming Saturday , which will be 10 miles also. During the week I walk but right now I only have to walk like 3-4 miles coupla of times a week.

Energy Pills

Ok, this is my first blog. It seems you get to talk about anything, and everything so here goes. This has been a very hectic week for me. Work has been busy, trying to working out, and of course doing belly dancing drills. So yesterday I was feeling a little sluggish so I had a big cup of Joe, then after lunch I was feeling a little tired so I took a "energy pill". So before I went to belly dance class I decided I needed a little bit more pep, so I took another "energy pill." Well let me tell I was so jittery in class . I could not cue , or follow a cue. It did'nt even dawn on me that it was the "energy pills "making my heart beat so fast . Morale of the story: No more energy pills. There that was my first blog, now I am no longer a blog virgin. : > )
