  • RunningBlog: Week 18

    Well, I did it. On Sunday I went out for the longest run I’ve ever done: 22km. It was hot and sunny, and I had to take walk breaks and suck down a lot of water. But I got it done. Afterwards I had an ice bath and a massage to help with the soreness, and I think I pulled up pretty well. I had Monday and Tuesday as rest days, then went for a short easy run Wednesday morning. My legs felt tired. On that basis, I decided to skip Spudds on Wednesday in favor of resting up as much as possible before Sunday’s Mother’s Day Classic 8K. (The Geek Girl Runner team will be meeting up before the race from 7:30 at the fountain in Hyde Park.) While I’d love to set a PR for this one – last year’s time was 57:37 – I don’t want to push too hard before the big race next weekend.

    May 2: 22.03km
    May 5: 5.32km
    Total this week: 27.35km (17mi)
    Total in 2010: 385.34km (240.8mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 346km right now. So I’ve still got a nice cushion!

    Actual knitting content! It’s been a while. I fell in love with Juno Regina when it first came out in 2007 but never felt inspired enough to give lace a real go. The Morris Empire 2ply kept calling to me though, so I finally cast on at Knitting Camp. I will be the first to admit that I was quite the sight, hunched over my lace and growling at anyone who dared interrupt me while laboriously counting yarnovers under my breath. Those first twenty rows were a trial, people. Eventually I got the hang of it though, and the diamond pattern started to emerge. Chart 3 threw me for a loop, but fortunately I found a Ravelry discussion that cleared it up. The end portion is now finished and I’m powering through the body of the scarf. I don’t even know who it’s for! I like it, but I’m not sure I’ll wear it. I’m thinking maybe a gift for my Mom or my sister…

    Happiness is a tidy whiteboard.

    Who knew sausage rolls would be such a cause of concern? #masterchef – KH

    Special Cinco de Mayo $5 burritos for dinner tonight. @mad_max for the WIN!

    The only downside to Rice Krispie Treats is having leftover Rice Bubbles. Least filling cereal ever. Feel like I ate a bowl of air.

    I remember this! I was in London at Netdecisions. That was the Funnest. Workday. Ever. We all got to go the pub and drink beer while Snook had to stay back with @Ciaran to fix it.

    The lacy triangle bit of Juno Regina is finished! Now just 4ft of simple 2-row eyelet pattern. This lace business is EASY. #famouslastwords

    Cheating Snook just played “ae” in Words With Friends. THAT SHOULD NOT BE NOT A WORD. SCRABBLE GAMEPLAY FAIL.

    @gilmae Don’t say the H-word. I’m still traumatized. Besides, Glee never took itself that seriously, so there’s not as far to fall!

    @miss_reecie You are dead to me. Wait, but it’s Noro. That may cancel out the Crochet Cooties. Will have to give it more thought.
