Another hump wednesday
FINALLY...
I got my ass out and started running again! I felt so good afterwards. I have WAY too many stresses right now. From bills and family to just being. It's getting harder to just exist. Everything always seems so easy when you just start out. You are eager to head off into the world and start fresh. Then shit starts to build up...financially, physically, mentally... Now I'm at a point where I just have to run. I've gotta stay sane. I don't want to turn into the rest of my family so I've gotta have some outlet.
I must say... the run was quite refreshing yesturday. We were suppose to do interval traing. Ok... first off, NO! When you haven't gone running in months, it isn't a good thing to start out with that kind of training. Maybe I will be able to do that next week, as for the current state... There is no way I could have done that.
Late last night I got the urge to play viola again. During my lunch break, I took out the monster viola and had my way with it. That was so much fun. Well something must have clicked in my brain because when I returned home to play my other viola, everything was so natural. I could play in tune... I could get a GREAT sound and I wasn't so tense! Maybe it was because i stretched out my hand with that huge viola or maybe it was because I had some exercise. Either way, it was good. See, there are stress relievers! I just wish it had something to do with having a partner! ;) Life was good yesturday. Then I passed out around 1030. GREAT DAY!

I find, (especially on trombone because of the breathing aspect,) that working out and especially things like cardio have a TREMENDOUS effect upon my playing. In fact, I used to make it a point that before a concert at school, I'd try to go to the gym and do cardio and do special breathing exercises in the process. When I would play that night, I had SO MUCH air. Nice feelin...

lmao... I have to be careful what I wish for from now on.
