Getting back on track!

Finished this pair of socks - I knitted 1.5 inches of ribbing and the rest stockinette sock - looks like the slouchy socks from the eighties. Oh well, I like the colors but will continue to make the entire leg portion of socks in ribbing. I also ran 3 miles on a challenging downtown hilly course and did OK - I'm back!!!

Much work ahead...

Wind and snow flurries greeted me as I stepped outside to go the first 5k of the year.Brrrr..... This race was the first one I did 2 years ago and I use it as the benchmark to gauge my progress. Well, I have much work ahead of me.....but like a running friend said to me - how many women our age are even trying? Oh well...

Another pair of nonleather shoes in my favorite style - clogs - and my latest pair of handmade socks to go with my St.Patrick's Day ensemble. Meeting some friends for some festivities in Downtown Roanoke!

Snow finally AND no more socks for awhile!!!

Woke up yesterday morning to ~4 inches of snow and frigid temps! We usually have some snow here every year but not huge amounts like in the higher elevations west of Roanoke.

That said,every couple of years we are surprised with a foot or more of snow..... So what did I do in this snowy weather? I knitted yet another pair of socks - that makes 5 pairs since Christmas!

No more until I go on vacation/holiday the first weekend of March to Marco Island, Florida. I have other knitting projects that need attention until then. I'm organizing an afghan project for Bookcrossing to be raffled off at the Convention in Charleston, SC in April. Donations of wonderfully colorful, creative squares are arriving almost every day
...... so that is my promise - no more sock knitting until Florida.
P.S. I love this story ..... I haven't given up on running - plan on running to the best of my ability for a long time!
