My schedule says that I'm supposed to run for an hour today, but I decided to run tomorrow's 8 miler today and run the hour tomorrow.
Ficquett chorus rehearsal was very good. So I felt highly motivated to put in a strong eight miles today.
My plan was to stay as close to 11:30 per mile. I started out at a good pace, completing my first mile at 11:07. I could have gone out a bit faster, but I needed to reign in my pace, so I could have a well paced 8 miler.
Picket bridge road was challenging as usual because of the gravel, hills and dirt. I like to run it though because it shows me how much I have improved and the hills add balance to my workout.
As I ran today, I thought about how much I have been blessed for the past six years. Working at Ficquett has been fun and I have loved watching so many children improve as singers and musicians. I am blessed to have a chorus that is able to sing two parts because they are willing to work together and listen.
Working with Orff has taught them that and it has forced us all to work as a team not only in rehearsals, but also in class.
Next year my mission will be to fulfill these high standards with my new school. I will be starting over, but my life experiences have taught me that WHEREVER I AM, WE WILL SUCCEED.
