It was supposed to pour down rain all weekend, so I was prepared with a plan, but then it was sunny all weekend🤷🏼♀️
Exercise:
Dennis dragged me out to do another part of the PoCo trail. I really hadn’t thought there were any parts left that I hadn’t done! We ran out from a new spot, but once again I was super surprised how close we really were to a part we run all the time. I always think there’s at least 8km between these sections, when it turns out there’s only about 3-4.
The morning was gorgeous and I once again ran in a t shirt, capris and gloves. I really like this combo as my hands stay warmer.
My right knee was niggling at me, but otherwise I was surprised there weren’t more problems.
I was so happy when we got to 5km at the bottom of the hill, but Dennis made me go up the hill because, “it’s good for me”.😖😖
Another ten kilometers closer to South Dakota:)
This evening I did some weights. It was a little different as I didn’t have much floor space, but I did:
High knees, bicep curls, front kicks, tricep kickbacks, side kicks, shoulder press, jog, front raises, toe taps, upright rows/ bent over rows, fast feet, reverse flies, jumping jacks, crunches, skipping, full sit ups, high knees, Russian twists, front kicks, bicycle crunches, side kicks, reverse crunches, jog, plank, toe taps, standing ab crunches, and fast feet.
I stopped there as I figured my legs had done enough for the day!
Knitting:
I spent the time after coffee finishing the cowl for my secretary. It was easy to do and she really likes the looks of it.
The pattern is a free pattern on Ravelry called Floridian by Cascade yarns. I did this in Sirdar DK baby cotton. It took two skeins.
It feels great and will be machine washable so a good knit to give away.
Now I just have to wait for it to finish blocking.
Watching:
I finished the Great Canadian BakingShow this evening. It was such a great show I hated to see it come to an end. I’m even more disappointed that Netflix doesn’t seem to have any other shows like this:(
Well I’m back to my newest book. I hope you had s lovely Sunday!
Have fun!
AJ
Same here – they lied and I did not pull my alarm clock as I believed them and had to go out later than usual and it cut up my day!
I had planned a show binge for this weekend and did stick with it. It probably would have been better to go out
I get mad when they give us a bum steer like that AJ. I would never have not pulled the alarm, messed up my day. I am set in my ways!
I’m only mad at myself after I’ve wasted the day
I’ve done that too – I feel the same way.
Your cowl looks great – what a nice gift! And you are getting so much exercise in 🙂
I’m trying!
Thanks for the photo of the gift cowl. It’s lovely — light and lacy. She’s going to feel so dressed up when she wears it.
Yes the daughter is hoping the mom will find it appropriate for chirch
Let’s hope she’ll wear it to church. Otherwise she’d have to wait for a wedding or funeral. It looks that dressy to me.
Oh it’s not as it’s made out of cotton
I wear gloves a lot when running, even if it’s not that cold. My hands get cold easily so it helps them warm up and then I can always take my gloves off if needed. It’s nice you had a plan for pouring ran but sun sounds better to me than that haha. Maybe I’m just jaded a bit since it’s been that awkward mist/drizzle since Saturday night so it’s not a full on rain but you can feel the water if you’re out for a while
I hadn’t thought of wearing gloves with my shirt sleeve but I’m really loving it! My hands and feet are always cold!
Yes it was beautiful here this weekend so I am definitely not complaining!
I’ll be the person in shorts, a short sleeve shirt and gloves on runs lol. It helps though!
Me too!!
The cowl looks fantastic! We had a stellar weather day Saturday, but since then, the temps have dropped and the wind is howling around us. I have one door in the house that the wind whistles through.
It was windy like that on Saturday here and we’ve had rain on and off all day so far
Stay warm:)
That COWL IS GORGEOUS> I love your knitting posts the best
Oh thank you! I will keep that in mind:)
What a pretty cowl that is! I am looking forward to where you end up on the map this month!
So am I! I think I’ve made some good progress this month:)
Try Sugar Rush on Netflix. I also liked the Big Family Cooking Showdown.
Ok I will try those two:). How are you doing?
Surviving!! You?
Ugh just had the staff meeting from hell and now all my tech is acting weird:( I might cry or punch something g
