Spring is finally here!

5k

I did it! I ran my first race. And I am so proud.
My goals were not to cross the finsh line as the last one and to stay under 30 minutes. I did both. 28.36 minutes and 115th out of 169 in total and 11th out of 29 women. I think I like races. Am thinking about running two more in the near future.

Snowy impressions

Actually the snow is gone and we've had some days with temperatures above 0°C and today I finally found the first tip of one of our spring plants in the back garden. We planted gazillions of bulbs last fall. And I can't wait to see all there fresh greens and bright colours!

Converse booties

These were really fun to knit. But weaving in the estimated gazillion of ends was not so funny. But it got done somehow.

I think they are really cute.

Kms run in January 2009

11,67 - Not much if I only look at the number. BUT I jumped back onto the wagon and DID run them! 4 times in one month. That’s like once a week. And we had ice for about two weeks. I tried to run and ignore it but had to see that that wasn’t a good idea.Will lead to a new goal for February. Run more than once a week! Run at least 15 km, better 20.

Kms documented in 2008

35,37
Fell off the wagon…

Hibernation over? !

Well it seems my (blog) hibernation has come to an end.
New finished objects waiting to be shown, running progress to be documented, garden starting into a new vegetation period...
