slog

I really am trying to get back into running. Really really. How is it that I've gotten so out of shape in just a couple of weeks? Yesterday's run was particularly horrible. I planned on going 4 miles, but about a quarter-mile in, my legs started SCREAMING at me. Every muscle below my belly button burned. I stopped a couple of times to stretch them out, but it didn't really help. Sooo... 2 miles it was. And it was not a fun 2 miles. My hip still hurts today, even after using my foam roller last night AND this morning! Arrgh. Saturday's 10k is intimidating me already.

bootstraps

It's no secret I've been in a bit of a funk lately. One of those where you want to be free from the bondage of your own mind, but you don't know how to start. Well, sometimes in order to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you need someone to help you find your bootstraps. Special thanks to Meagan for handing my bootstraps to me on Friday afternoon.

IZ MA BIRFDAY!

HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI!!!!!!!!!!! My name is Grover, and IZ MA BIRFDAY! Momma said I could come talk on her blog for ma birfday. I've been wanting to for a long time, because she says that you all are ladies and I LOVE LADIES, but she wanted me to save it for a special occasion.

I don't know why Momma only takes pictures of me when I'm sleeping. She's creepy.

random rant wednesday

I saw this linkup and felt compelled to join, because I've been feeling the need to rant about something for awhile now.

funky

I've been in a bit of a funk for the past couple of weeks. I think a lot of it has to do with the weather and my lack of exercise lately. It's what my husband describes as "depression" (spoken by a person who's never experienced true clinical depression)-- the wintertime funk that is a self-perpetuating cycle of cabin fever -> decreased energy -> decreased activity -> further decreased energy -> further decreased activity ad nauseum.

#widn -- knitting edition

I realized the other day that I haven't written anything about knitting in awhile. Yes, I'm still making stuff over here. I don't think I ever have fewer than two projects on the needles at any time. I did have an active push there for awhile to finish a bunch of my WIPs, because it was freaking me out, but I'm back down to baseline now.

Here's what I've been working on lately (in a picture-heavy post):
