Tuesday Tidbits - 01/10/2012

Caved in and downloaded Angry Birds last night on my phone...I feel like the last one to the show, but I am totally addicted. Austin and I had fun going through the initial levels last night...Balance Ashli Balance...it's all about balance...(keep telling myself that as I reach for the phone again...:))
I am listening to someone tell another co-worker about an email that came out today with a crazy deadline...I am smiling (and sad for this person at the same time) because right before Christmas I advised the person doing the complaining that I had a feeling that it was coming...maybe she will start listening to me :)
I did a new FIRM workout this morning. Crazy moves...it was fun, but it is going to take me a time or two..like the others did...before I am in a groove with it....so glad I re-discovered these workouts...they are right up my alley...
We got new carpet at my office, it looks awesome, and because we had to shift the cubicles around to get it put in, our area changed a bit so my cube is now a lot more private and bigger :) BONUS!
I love listening to Joyce Meyer Devotionals every day on my Daily Bible App on my phone. I listen on my way to work...good stuff... a great way to start the day!

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...
