Balance

I'm full on training for my first 10k, but I have to wonder if I would be as focused on training if Oh Girl was booking shows. It's hard to balance all the things you love. I'm lucky enough to have a wife that is understanding and a job that allows me to have enough energy to still train. I'm also lucky that when it comes to running, I'm a bit of a morning person...

Focus, Glynn. Not just on training, but on maintaining balance. Family, music, training, work... it's all important and it all takes time and you can do it if you set your mind to it.

Amy Winehouse

... was a phenomenally gifted talent.

... had serious issues, which eventually led to her tragic and relatively early death.

... will hopefully be remembered for her life instead of her death.

You will be missed...

Goals...

Weigh 150 lbs by 30...

Solo acoustic album by the end of the year

Oh Girl Singles Party done and either digitally released or pressed on vinyl...

10K at 9:30 a mile...

All these goals can be attained by the end of the year...

Another goal is to complete a sprint triathlon. I think I can nab that one by the end of next year...

The funny thing about goals... The more you talk about them with other people, the more likely you are to achieve them.

These are all realistic. These are all attainable. These will all require lots of work. These mean nothing without the love and support of my family.

It's not always about you.

GOAL: Family first.

One day, hour, minute, second at a time, Glynn.

5K tomorrow morning...

I've run 3.1 miles before. I've run farther than 3.1 miles before.

But there's something about putting the word "official" in front of 3.1 miles (5K) that makes it a little more nerve-racking... and exciting... and, well... official.

Just like there's a difference between playing in a garage in front of your girlfriends... and playing in a bar in front of people you don't know.

Just like there's a difference between reciting your lines to an empty house... and giving a performance for a sold out crowd.

My first "official" 5K is tomorrow morning. I hope I get the same high from it that I get from playing in a bar or performing on stage. If I do... man...

... game on.
