Battle scars - that's all.

Yesterday, I fell while on my run. I remember looking down and seeing all the tiny landscaping rocks and pinecones in the road, and thinking "I need to find a new running route". Then the next thing I know, I'm down on the ground. Thankfully my hands broke most of the fall, and I was able to walk away with just a few battle scars (scabbed and bruised knee and hands). You know you're a serious runner when you fall and the first thing you do, even before getting up from the ground, is stop the timer on your Garmin so the fall is not reflected in your time.

Don't you just love quick knit projects? I was able to knit a pair of the Hand/Wristwarmers from Last Minute Gifts and they really came in handy this morning when I was in bootcamp. Of course the first pair I knit was for me! I'll be making a few more pairs this week and continue working on the Monkey socks. I'll post pics towards the end of the week.

While shopping this weekend, thanks to bad cell phone ettiquette, I was able to hear about more drama going on in total stranger's lives than I ever need to know. Thank you, strangers, because I really needed to hear about all your drama.

I'm going to start calling you Turbo Knitter instead of Running Knitter...you ALREADY made a pair of wristwarmers!

I'm glad your hands are too hurt to still knit!
