I decided that my running goal is 2022 miles in 2022. Kind of a lame goal, but I hope it will keep me running more this year. Fleece lined tights are everything

Warmer, but very windy this morning.

Missed yesterday.  Much more pleasant run today. I prefer 35 degrees and calm to 16 degrees, or 20 mph wind.  Gotta enjoy the mild mornings.  
 

Wish me luck on my Mary Poppins audition tonight.  I'm probably too old to be cast as Mary, but it's a bucket list show, so might as well give it a shot.  As long as they let me tap dance, I will be a happy girl.

6:59 average.  When I am nervously waiting for a callback list, I tend to pound out my energy at a fast clip.  
 

Here's a sample of my non-running alter ego.

Easy morning run with Lily.  I performed last night and I have 3 hours of Mary Poppins callbacks followed by another performance tonight, so I'm conserving my energy.

Really long day Saturday.  Glad I went short.  Felt good about my audition.  Learned two dances and sang four songs for four different characters.  Fingers crossed for a good role. I hate waiting for casting.  
 

7 cold miles today.

Still waiting on the stupid cast list to go up.  My nerves can't take it!  Worst part of performing.

Wanted a little longer, but my stomach started rebelling over the last mile.

Found out the cast list for Mary Poppins isn't going up until this weekend.  BUT . . .they sent me an early role offer yesterday, which is so exciting!  This is a dream show and I can't wait to be a part of it.

Ran with Tee.  Achilles were sore from Saturday.  Inversion rolled in during our run and visibility was terrible by the end.

Missed yesterday.  Late night rehearsal.  Got in 8 with Devra this morning.  Might be able to sneak in a few with Lily after work.

It was above 30 degree this morning.  Amazing how much warmer that feels.  And, I got to run when it was light.

Four with Lily and 8 more with Devra.  Not a bad week considering I missed Wednesday.

Murray Park/Vine Street with Devra. I was extra cold this morning. Almost out of January though.

60 minute run.  Warmer than yesterday. Started to snow toward the end.  Felt snappy today.

Trying to stay somewhat consistent despite late nights.  Still on pace for my mileage goal.

Early treadmill run.  20 minute warm up. 5 x 6 minute repeats.  2 minutes at 6:45, 6:30, 6:15 with two minute recovery in between.  Getting a little tempo going

I think I figured out that I need about 168 miles per month to hit my mileage goal.  Despite a couple missed days this month, I am right on track.  I'm not called for rehearsal this week, so I will hopefully get more sleep and get a good mileage week!
