It’s been 10 days since I’ve been to the gym… I think.  I can’t remember.  This is not good.  It’s been raining for 9 days straight now in Philadelphia and I didn’t want to do anything but sleep (which I ended up getting very little of).

I began training again today and realized that I need to exercise the same discipline that I try to teach my students at temple.  It’s the only way to make progress.  Practicing everyday strengthens the mind, ear and muscles that are necessary for performing at a high level of musicianship.  Training everyday means the same for performing at peak levels during a race such as say, the triathlon sprint.

I resolve to be disciplined in my consistency of training from this day on.  Let’s hope it doesn’t rain anymore…
