making the most of my time

I've reminded myself that I need to stop messing around in class.  It's hard when I've just done two hours of ceili to do much of anything in my solo class, but the only way my stamina is going to improve is if I get off my butt and dance.  Teach is starting to have us do three steps to help bolster our stamina, and I died exactly two and a quarter steps into my treble jig.

Three feises left in 2013 and then it's the big dance, the oireachtas.  My goal for 2014 is to move into the champ class and get those two elusive firsts that will propel me to preliminary championships.  But it starts here and now, with boring drills, with dancing that ceili all-out every time, doing that hornpipe one more time even though my body is screaming to just lay down in the middle of the floor in the studio.

Stamina helps:
- dancing all-out, every time, multiple times, in class
- eating foods that give my body a boost of energy before class
- doing my Maniac DVDs 3 times a week

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME.
