Starting Over

So, I'm backtracking to the very beginning of my running training. Back to run 2 minutes, walk 3, 6 repeats. I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. One, I hurt my back (maybe you read my whiny post?), and had to take an entire week off of running. Since I was only 2 weeks into running, that was a pretty significant break. Two, I got a pair of Vibram Five Fingers, and I need to slowly ease into running in them to avoid stress injuries.
Yes, almost every person I know is making fun of me, but that's okay. At 5 in the morning, it's only Logan that has to see them, and he doesn't seem to mind.

Last week was a weird week. The Gemini Playhouse, where I hold my south belly dance class and my monthly belly dance show, was damaged due to flooding from a neighboring suite. I had to cancel the show and my upcoming series. I feel strangely liberated by this. Anyone who knows me knows that I precariously stack things on my plate until it is overflowing (perhaps I should change to a bowl?) Putting on a monthly show is a lot of work. Teaching twice a week is taxing, when one class is severely under-attended and you're stressed about upping attendance to make it worth your while to teach it.
Anyway, it sounds like Gemini is on the mend, though I still don't know when the studio & theater will reopen.

Tomorrow is Philip's birthday!! I'm so excited! I got him awesome presents that I know he's going to love, and I'm taking him out for sushi. I love that guy.
