What was I thinking....
On Wednesday I signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon. My strategy is to tell everyone about this, that way, when I get a moment of regret and wanting not to do it, I will remember that everyone knows I am supposed to be running it, and if I don't I will look like a looser.
I was excited the whole day at work. Then on the way home, I started thinking about how I would have to spend less time knitting and more time running. And how I was going to have to start getting up earlier to get my miles in, and how I was going to have to start not just talking about watching my diet, but doing it. And how it is 26.3 MILES!!! Really, what was I thinking?
But, this is one of my lifetime goals, and on October 29, I will have accomplished it.
Ohhhh... and I measured my mom's shawl, something I have been avoiding because I really did not want to know how much more I had to do, and I am 62% of the way there! (approximately). I have knit 48 of the 77 inch shawl. Wooo hoooo!
I have been knitting all morning, but now... I have to go for a run...yayyyy

Way to go on the marathon and the shawl - I'm so impressed! Just think about how good you'll feel when you're done with both of them, and hopefully that will keep you motivated!
If only one could knit while running....

who would run if she wasn't fat with bad knees and ankles....
That's amazing -- good for you! I need to get my ever-expanding-ass out for a run.
Well, as long as you are motivated, I'm sure you'll do great! (You are much braver than I am!)
Good luck, girl! I'm always so amazed at how people manage to complete these intense physical feats... I would love to someday, but that would require actual action on my part, and well... Let's just say I'm more of sidelines kind of girl. But you, however, kick ass!
