Stepping Up the Pace
This week I bumped up my routine to 10 reps of 90 secs. running and 2 minutes walking=15minutes of running and 20 minutes of walking. I'm basically on a slightly bigger version of couch to 5K. The first 2 weeks of the couch to 5K plan you are working out a total of 20minutes. *MY* first week was 30 minutes long (10 minutes of running and 20 minutes ( Read more... ) -
On Running
Progress Report: I got the okay to start jogging two weeks ago. Yay!
I've been to the gym three times this week for short 30 minute work-outs. I run (more of a jog really) one minute and walk for 2 minutes and repeat, ten times.
I saw my PT again this afternoon, after two of the three runs I mentioned, and she remarked on my good progress. I have two ( Read more... ) -
Knitting Fool!
The past two days I've been working with some of the first yarn I ever bought 9 years ago. I bought super soft lavender chenille yarn, intending to knit a scarf and a matching hat. It sat, neglected, in my trunk of yarn until Wednesday.
Wednesday I threw the yarn haphazardly into my bag along with my sock project (blast the heel! It eludes me ( Read more... ) -

Free Cycle Rocks
Tonight I picked up two grocery bags full of greengage plums. I think I'm makin' some jam this weekend. You know, in all that spare time I have. Anyone want some plums? ;) -
Time to exercise, but I don't want to.
Today is one of my Couch to 5K days. My plan is to run each Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Why, like last week, is it gray and overcast on day one? Is this not difficult enough already?
ETA: I got out on the lake. I walked for a brisk 5 minutes. I then ran a minute walked a minute and a half for 15 minutes more. Week two, day one down for me. -
Knitting Class
I went to Piedmont Yarn today for a knit class taught by the very talented ljellis on casting-on and binding-off. The class was very fantastic and I learned so much. I think ljellis may have been disappointed with the timing of the class and too worried we didn't get our monies worth, but I really feel I did. I learned four new ways to cast on and the very first ( Read more... ) -
Grandpa Tom
My grandpa wandered off again yesterday. This time on foot; he walked from Pico Rivera to Montebello. The cops found him. He'd fallen and been taken to the hospital. He cut his chin open pretty badly. He's home safe now. Family is still shaken up over the ordeal. -
Neighbors
Well, since finding a house for us and going into contract I've been lost as to what to do with my house finding skillzors. So I've been focusing on finding a house for nietzche_gal and J. I found one 2 blocks away on our same street that is niiiice! We're going to go to the open house this Sunday. I know this probably won't happen, at least not so soon, but ( Read more... )
