Back At It

Dallas was quite refreshing for me!

1. Jogging with my dog - he'll go with me comfortably for a little over half a mile, but hey, anything is good with me! He's almost 12 years old!
2. Spending quality time with my family, and catching up with old friends.
3. Getting caught up on my running routine again!

I've gotten really strong over the past few weeks- it started in Dallas, with 4 mile runs every other day. Not very fast (at ALL), but runs all the same.

Then, I enjoyed a nice weekend off in Santa Fe celebrating one of my dear friends upcoming nuptials in August - my friend Isabelle is getting married in August! We rented a huge house on a 35 acre lot, and spent the weekend lounging outside, hiking, gossiping, drinking, and making delicious food. Everyone left the weekend feeling energized and inspired, and ready to celebrate in August!

After Santa Fe, I returned to Bellevue for a week before I was off to Idaho. We saw Post Modern Jukebox in concert!

It was amazing! We finished off the week with a few meals with friends I hadn't seen in a while, and then before I knew it I was on my way to Singin' in the Rain in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho! I'll be here for 5 weeks rehearsing and performing. 

So far, I've run 6 miles every other day - a HUGE leap for me in terms of running frequency. I finally feel like a real runner again - waking up early and running for an hour really jives with me. They aren't fast runs, but at least they're something.

Of course, I haven't just been running and rehearsing. There's been plenty of beach time and fun with friends!

I even got to watch the Iron Man Triathlon!

Potts in first!

Not to mention, Idaho has its fair share of amazing sunsets.

Overall it's been a really amazing experience so far, and I've had a fantastic start to the summer. We open in less than a week - which is crazy, considering we've only been rehearsing for about 9 days! Wooo!
