Books

So I finished Knit Two last night...really caught me there at the end as I was totally absorbed by all of the stories and how the loose ends were tied up. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure I would like it or even if I was going to read it after I finished reading the first book - The Friday Night Knitting Club. But, I am glad that I read this one. It not only tied up loose ends of things that happened in the 2nd book, but went back to the first book and tied those up as well.

Now I am reading the letters by Luanne Rice and Joseph Monninger. I am hooked already as it is a series of letters sent back and forth from husband and wife after the loss of their son. I love books of letters.

Today I got to work out here at work for what will be the last time until August. Next week my husband is going on a trip so I will not be able to get in here early enough after getting the kids ready and dropping them off to get a workout in before work. I need a plan because when he gets back I only have like 2 weeks and then he is back to teaching and I am back to figuring out how to get a workout in for the next 9 months.

Week 1 .. Done!

I can't believe that Wednesday marks the beginning of week 2 already.  I feel like I was just telling Liz that I had this idea for a running challenge and shabang...here we are starting week 2!  And people are doing it with me! I logged 10.5 miles in Week 1 (starting off a little ahead never hurts :)).  Overall I felt good about getting the miles in, but I am having a pain in my knee when I run longer than 3 minutes at a time so I am doing mostly intervals.  I think it is my IT Band...I know this is pretty common, but it stinks to have pain.  Anyone have any good suggestions for IT Band therapy.  I have heard of using a foam roller, but have no idea how to use one or even what to buy...suggestions?? Liz has also given me a great idea to do a badge or something to mark progress on this quest.  I am thinking of something, but haven't had much time to devote to it.  I like the idea...what about anyone else doing this journey with...

I am going to do what?!?

In the past 5 years I can be quoted as saying: "I am NOT a runner" "I HATE to sweat" "I will NEVER run" "I was a swimmer, I never ran growing up, I am sure that is why my joints just won't work for running." Let me warn you now, when you hear yourself things like this, just pretend it its "opposite day" because the likelihood of those proclamations holding true is pretty much non-existent. This past year, I have found myself running 2 5k events, run/walking a half marathon, finding a running training plan to work on speed of all things.  I really can't believe how much I actually look forward to working out...and how much my day changes when I don't. On days I work out, I am happier, have more energy, feel better rested, am a better parent and wife and have a desire to live out God's will for my life. When I don't work out...well, let's just say it is not pretty.  Nothing is on time, I am short fused...
