Probably no running today, but I'll get in some strength training this evening.
BUT, I registered for the Riverview Park 5k on June 9. Officially threw down the $ and signed up, so I'm committed now. I ran it with my daughter in 2010 and started out slow with her. I have a good month to train, so I may be able to PR but I'm not concerned either way. It's a gateway race to my goal race, the Montour Trail Half on Sept. 8. If I get free entrance into the Great Race again through work, I'll run that 10k on Sept. 25. Then, there's always the Dirt Monster the first weekend in October. Just taking it one day at a time, though.
Oh, then tonight was my son's (and my) first guitar lesson! A friend in our ward is a self-taught guitarist, has played for 25+ years, and plays very well. He plays at some local clubs in addition to his day job. He was so excited I asked him if he'd be willing to teach my son...and get paid for it. He's such a nice guy that he wanted to do it for free, but I have issues with that and I insisted we pay him.
My son has wanted to learn to play for more than a year, so as his "big" Christmas gift he got lessons and guitar, amp, etc. We spent some time researching guitars, visiting our friend's favorate & recommended store, tried several, etc. Picked up a nice intermediate Fender guitar and 15w amp a month or so ago and we've both been getting familiar with it.
The lessons are for him, but I'll be picking up plenty myself. Looking forward to doing this together, and if he continues to like it and gets better, I'll have to get my own guitar. |
