Running…

… what is THAT?

Kidding.

I have been impossibly busy learning lines the past two weeks.  Too busy for running or biking??

Yes.

This is a complicated script – an ensemble piece. 98 pages and I am barely off stage.  Add an incredibly difficult Irish/English/Welsh accent and if you’ve spoken to me lately – you’ll notice the ‘lilt’ in my speech pattern.

It’s not an excuse.  It’s a choice I made to focus on giving this show the best performance I’m capable of – just like my running.

Trust me – I do plenty of running during the show.

But today, I decided to get off my behind and take my afternoon script foray out in the neighborhood.  Good thing I know where I live, because I was so focused on my lines that until I looked at runkeeper, I couldn’t tell you the 2.85 MILE ROUTE I did walk!

Now THAT’S the concentration it takes for me to do my lines…
