More Wee Tiny Socks and a new pair of jeans



I knit up two more wee tiny socks. These have to be the best (and fastest) knitted gifts.

Today was an unscheduled rest day. I just couldn't get out of bed early enough to run. The workout week is already planned out though:
Mon. - Boot camp
Tues. - boot camp
Wed. - boot camp
Thurs - run (3 or 4 miles)
Fri - boot camp
Saturday - Pat Tillman Run


I went shopping today for a new pair of jeans. I walked out with a pair of jeans in a size that I haven't worn in over 10 years, and yes, I did the happy dance in the fitting room.

I came across a couple of great articles this week that I thought I'd pass along.


  • "Last place is the girl who is laying on her couch Saturday morning, watching TV, and wondering what you are doing." - Corinne Crabtree. I'm going to remember that quote the next time I'm towards the back of the pack. Read more from Corinne here.

Have a great week everyone, and for Anna-omoly who starts boot camp tomorrow - have fun, kick butt, and don't forget to let us know how you liked it!

Thank you for making me feel better for my last place 10K finish on Feb. 2. There were only 26 runners, but still.....

And I finished in 62 minutes!

Wow that's a dedicated workout schedule! And congrats on your jeans! Also I've noticed your 30 pounds gone in 2008 sign - that's fantastic! What an accomplishment. I bet you feel like a million bucks :)

Now you just have to get the jeans on at home and dance in front of the mirror while watching your behind. One of the best motivations to keep on exercising :-)

Have fun with the run.

Thanks for the shout out and all the positive vibes! Boot camp was much less scary than I had imagined.

I'll be going Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat. But I'll miss next Monday to go to the Jimmy Buffett concert!!

CONGRATS on the new jeans!

Congrats on the jean size!
You do my kind of workouts. I haven't exhausted myself on the bootcamps, though. I plan on doing it if funds permit!

Good Luck on your run!

Randi said...

Nancy said...

Oh my. Happy Dance. That must have been a tiny little number (the size). Boot camp is paying off. :D

Susan said...

Congrats on the jeans!!!! A smaller size is WAAAAY more gratifying to me than a scale reading.
