It's been a while

I can hardly believe it has been 5 months since I even looked at my blog.  Life has happened and I have had to just go with it.  I have been busy working, studying, knitting, weaving, and spinning.  Really just same-o, same-o. 

Mom had her knee replaced last September, and I am happy to report that she is doing really well.  She was released from PT for her knee pretty early on, and has been working on her shoulder ever since.  Today is her last day at PT for that, and will continue with her exercises at home.  She doesn't have the range of motion she would like to have, but she works on it little by little. 

Last October, I started training for a 5K race.  That's right, I started doing some running.  I completed my first official 5K on March 12th, at the McGuire's 5K prediction race.  My only goal was to finish in under and hour, which I did at 59:18.18.  I was encouraged all the way by Carol, a fellow knitter, who is a dyed in the wool runner (hahahaha)!  It was such a privilege and so much fun to be able to participate and to have so many people pulling for me.  I have slowed down on the running, and am starting to feel it in my bones, so I think I will get out this weekend to the park and have a good long walk.

January was the Destin Spin-In.  This was my second year attending, and again, I had a fabulous time.  Met some new friends and had a nice time unwinding and de-stressing.  I hope to be able to attend again next year. 

April will be time for Stitches South in Atlanta, and I will be going over the weekend.  I look forward to hanging out with friends from Atlanta and Pensacola and doing some shopping while there. 

I have missed blogging these past few months, and I plan to keep up with it a little better this year.  So, until next time, be good!
