Long Weekend, Run and Knit

Long Weekend, Run and Knit


I hope taking today off finds me running long(ish) and enjoying time knitting.

I will be ''attempting'' another snowshoe race Sunday and a bit of new snow predicted for tomorrow, perfect! This race is 5 miles. The previous race was 4.25 and was a nice challenge! For me personally, race isn't quite the right word, rather I think of it as another finish. The last finish found me ''not quite'' last...thankfully my only competitor took a tumble, so I was able to comfortably come in before him. I guess I should have helped him or at least asked him if he was alright, but hey, I had to stay focused. All and all a fun day, outstanding challenge and people. I also won a gift certificate to Frontier in the after race raffle.

I am planning to vist a knitting event in Freeport in hopes of purchasing some sort of unique local yarn!

Keep dreaming!

Productive Snow days, with and without Snowshoes!

Productive Snow days, with and without Snowshoes!


I've been enjoying snowshoeing and will attempt my first ''race'' this weekend. I'll keep you posted.

On the crafting front, I have totally enjoyed making hearts for Valentine's Day. I have revisited knitting and I am loving it. I also knitted an Easter Egg! To some this may silly, to me a masterpiece and such an accomplishment! I've never been able to knit with 4 needles and now I can. A snow day, spent with my neighbor guiding me through ''how to'' was the best use of a snow day before my snowshoes purchase!

Keep Dreaming!
