Running For Flo!

Music is my life. I do everything with music. It pumps me up when I'm running, it keeps me focused when I'm working, and it just gets me. No matter what mood I'm in, there's always a song that I can relate to, or one that I can depend on to pull me out of a funk.

I've had a bit of an inner battle lately, because I'm really focused on building up my savings, and I'm finally at a point where I can do that. I don't go out much and I haven't been shopping. I think the majority of the money that I have spent lately has been for my health and food. However...I just learned that there is going to be a Dave Matthews concert at the Hollywood Bowl next month, and in October Florence and the Machine will be playing there as well. I want to see them both soooooo badly, and I don't know what to do. The rational side of me says to just choose one concert and enjoy myself, but then there's that impulsive side of me that says just freaking go to both! 

So after a bit of thought, here's what I decided to do: I'm going to buy the Dave tickets on Friday, and I'm definitely going to that concert. As for Flo... I've set a goal for myself. If I run the Long Beach Half Marathon in under 2:30, then I am going to reward myself with tickets to the Florence and the Machine concert, which is going to take place the very next day. How bad do I want this? We'll just have to see!
