I'm Thrilled on Thursday

I'm Thrilled on Thursday - 01/19/2012

Yes, I guess the Daily Word themes will have to stop someday, but they are too fun to do so I will keep being a dork and putting words together with the day of the week...:)

I am Thrilled today because I won 2 tickets to the NFL Experience downtown Indy next Friday the 3rd...
I am Thrilled because I will be avoiding 90 min of traffic tomorrow by working from home
ok...no more...
In all seriousness, I am so happy that we had a good turn out at the small groups open house last night at my church. I am looking forward to great things to come this year in coordinating this ministry area :)
It is odd that 90% of the "things we have as major initiatives in 2012" are things on MY plate...pressure, no way, I will take the challenge...God is on my side!

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...

It is here - The I Will Blog 500 Miles Virtual 5k

Here are the rules...they are so simple: 1. Run/Walk 3.1 Miles between Friday December 3rd and Monday December 6th 2. Post a comment to this post with your time and when you ran. Also include any thoughts on your experience and if there is any interest in doing another in a couple of months (February or March). Have fun and good luck. I look forward to seeing everyone's results! Ashli

Charity Knitting - Knit-A-Square

Several years back I bought a Knifty Knitter Loom Set and some yarn to make a hat. I can't remember exactly if I bought the loom to do charity work or I just wanted some sort of craft to do and the needles looked like a little more work than I wanted to do at the time. I do knit with needles now and I have to say that it is much easier than it looks once you get the hang of it. I even knit one of those blue and white scarves for the Super Bowl this year with needles. Anyway, back to the topic...As I started enjoying knitting these hats, I became addicted to buying sale yarn...any yarn on clearance at Walmart magically made it into my bag...no project in mind...no idea if I even had enough yarn of one color or type to do anything with...I just loved buying the stuff. I started buying books of patterns for loom knitting and knitting with sticks. I made some crafts as gifts..made a whole bunch of hats :), a few dishcloths...

Just Me...
