what was I thinking?

I hope I learned my lesson! I started a 5 mile run at 9:45AMthis morning, and it was rough!! I'm pretty sure it was at least 85 out, and the sun was bright. The hills around campus and on 17th were an extra challenge. I gotta get up earlier!!

A bit of excitement for me on my run was an encounter with a drum corps! Once I heard the tinny, ever-present sound of the Dr. Beat, I knew what it was. They were warming up at the IU Memorial Stadium. I still don't know what group it was! I've checked a bunch of the midwestern corps' schedules, but none are out here yet. After a shower, a trip to Brownstown for a Memorial Day hang, practicing, and a lesson, the corps was still out at the stadium as I drove home at 7PM. (Of course!) It reminds me of how little freedom I had as an individual in the Cadets; every day is full of work! And I loved it! I hope I can figure out who they were...

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello and thanks for checking out my new blog! I created this page to keep my friends and family updated on my summer adventures, which will take me to Toronto for the International Women's Brass Conference, and to Aspen, CO for a summer music festival. Check back to see what I've been up to!

This blog is also to help me track my progress this summer, in my study of music and my running/hiking activities. I thought that if I wrote down my goals, and monitored them...publicly....then I (and you) might hold myself more accountable! My goals for the summer are, loosely, to get and stay fit, and to get better at trombone. I'll define those more later.
