Oh, boot camp. You seem so bent on destroying me, and yet I keep bouncing back more quickly than ever. 300+ triceps rows yesterday, on top of a lot of running and Lord knows what else--I think I blocked it out of my memory! "Only" down 1.2 lbs this week, but that was after a pretty terrible weekend eating-wise and a great weekend otherwise. I think I'll be back to my usual 3+ lb loss this week easily.
Feis weekend was great, as usual. I'm feeling nervous / inspired about returning to competition--I didn't expect it would be so soon, but life has a way of surprising you, I guess. I bought a wig (!) and new soft shoes (!!), both the first in more than half a decade. This must be really happening! I have secured help for my wig at Oireachtas and can't think about dancing onstage too much lest I get all fluttery. However, it just strengthens my resolve that I *am* going to get to prelims, and sooner than I expect, too.
The next feis will be the one I'm co-chairing! Three and a half weeks to go and we have exactly two musicians and four adjudicators--a full set. I feel like we're ahead of the game, even though we've got less than a month to go and there's still so much to do. (Namely, selling ads. UGH.)
Looking forward to a Thursday, Saturday and Sunday full of dance!
