Seattle knitters guild meeting
Tweet Yesterday evening I went to the monthly Seattle Knitters Guild meeting. This month they were giving two talks. One about knitter’s health – how to avoid muscle strain and that sort of thing. It was great. I learned a bunch of new stretches that will not only keep me from cramping while knitting, but [...]
I was a bit busy this weekend
Tweet Aside from finding a free app for my droid that will let me post to my blog and seeing Sherlock Holmes, this weekend was a busy. Before I left for Christmas I stopped by Goodwill to see if I could find a cheap book to read on the flight back east. I always do [...]
Excuse me I just fartlek’ed
Tweet Tonight at training we did a little fartlek training. Fartlek, while fun to say (and allows for several unbelievably bad jokes and puns) is a type of training where you vary the pace significantly during your workout. So for us it was, we’d sprint or run hard for half a lap and then take [...]
Day 2 of NaNoWriMo and boy are my metahpors tired
Tweet I don’t think I’ve ever written this much before in my life. In two days I’ve got a word count of 3973! Only 46,027 words left. What the heck… I’ll try and knock that out this weekend. Yeah, probably not. But I am having fun with this and it’s definitely pushing my creative limits. [...]
I wasn’t going to post anything tonight, but…
Tweet I was half watching the local news when a story caught my attention. Now the story was not that unusual – a superior court judge in Tacoma (Judge Hecht) is accused of patronizing a prostitute and felony harassment. I mean, can you name a judge that hasn’t been accused or these things? It’s not [...]
11 miles… check
Tweet Today was our long run day. We started with a quick 15 minute fitness assessment. We had to run around the track at our normal run pace. At the end of 15 minutes we recorded the number of laps we had. I had gone 5 laps ( 1 1/4 miles). Then it was off [...]
Quidditch Homework
Tweet 1-Where’s Winnie game! OK so from what i can gather, Winnie started her trip over in New Zealand. Dunedin… Larnarch Castle, I believe. Then from there, she headed back over to grab some fresh maple syrup. And if you ask me, it ain’t maple syrup unless it comes from vermont. I think she stopped [...]
I ordered my Vibrams
Tweet I just ordered my Vibram classics. They should be here in a week or so! I went to REI and they didn’t have my size. I tried them on and I can see there’s going to be a bit of getting used to it. It took moving of toes to get them into the [...]
Wow!
Tweet I went to see Caballo Blanco speak at the Seattle Running Company. He was going to do a run with the group but he couldn’t as he was running a few weeks before and cut his foot open. It didn’t start off well. First, the guy who lead the run, just said, “Ok let’s [...]
7.5 miles – check
Tweet I never thought I would be able to get past the 5k mark. But I did. I’m up to 7.5 mile! I did it in roughly 1 hour and 40 minutes. So that’s a 13:30 a mile. I’d like to get that down to an 11 or 10 minute mile once I get into [...]
