Very cloudy and humid out today, but I'm glad I didn't get caught in the rain! My right knee was aching a little during the first half mile, but afterwards it felt better!

I really had to push myself to get through the last mile, but I did it! I definitely felt a lot stronger than my last run. I'm so proud of myself for making it back up to 3 miles! I haven't done 3 miles since Friday, August 7th! Almost 2 weeks ago!

Folks, it’s not talent.
It’s years and years of training in multiple fields.
It’s the dance classes that made us sweat.
It’s the voice lessons that made us cry.
It’s the tech rehearsals that exhausted us.
It’s rejection after rejection after rejection.
It’s hours and hours on that stage, always striving for the best.
It’s endless passion.
It’s taking harsh criticism, struggling to not take it personally, and using it to fuel your progress.
It’s not letting somebody’s judgment of you slow your stride.
It’s questioning whether you’re good enough constantly.
It’s never ever giving up on yourself.
It’s constantly wondering if this is the right career.
It’s feeling like we’re not making progress, but still striving every day to be better.
It’s facing every obstacle head on, no matter how daunting, and fighting to clear every hurdle.
It’s being told by almost everybody you know that your career path is not a viable option.
It’s dealing with endless stereotypes that you can never seem to fight off.
It’s committing to following your dream, no matter what that path may bring.
It’s staying curious, and always seeking to learn more, no matter where we are in our training.
So no, talent doesn’t get us where we are. Don’t discount your hard work. Don’t discount how much you’ve devoted to your craft.

The Fox and the Hound
Tinni is a Norwegian dog that belongs to photographer Torgeir Berge in the forests of Norway . While exploring the woods together they came across a wild fox that they named Sniffer. Although Sniffer has never been domesticated in any way, Sniffer and Tinni became good friends. Now Berge observes Tinni and Sniffer from a distance, and luckily for us he captures their endearing friendship with his camera.

This is my first run since Wednesday, and it was pretty rough. I had to stop running after 2 miles and walk the rest of the way home. I did have a heat stroke two days ago, so I'm proud of myself for going out and running today, but I really wish I could have hit mile 3. I'm determined to get up even earlier and hit 3 miles on my next run!
