Knit and FIt

I have both knitting and fitness in this post.

Last semester my knitting mojo was buried under a huge mountain of school work but over the break I dug it out and dusted it off.

I am finding great joy in knitting. I knit three Thorpe hats, I just need one more for a family set.
The first hat is a gift for a friend, I have always been rather selfish knitter but I am finding the happiness that knitting for someone else can bring.


On the fitness front, I have been working hard at really committing to my workout schedule. I have set up little goals to help keep me motivated. I decided that if I worked out 21 days in January I would buy some new running schools - technically I was 2 days over but I still bought the shoes and I feel great about it. Next is a new fancy watch for running - 30 days to that goal.

I am currently training for the Central Tri on February 21st. The 2 mile Easter Sun Run in April and the 10K River Run in May.

Love the Thorpe hats. What's the pattern/yarn on the first hat?

I'm doing the YMCA biggest loser contest right now to give myself a fitness motivation boost.

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying knitting again, because that shows you're feeling happy in general. I value your happiness. :)
