Sense of Humour

My mom and her friends have a great sense of humour. So much so, that I always tease them for laughing more than quilting when they get together to quilt. This wallhanging was made for a friend of theirs moving down south. But they made a similar one that hangs in the Mindemoya Hospital as well.

I did a 5 km run yesterday, on the treadmill, and was happy about the time. Not because of what it was, but because I was able to work thru the fear of not having enough energy at the end.

Since running is a new sport for me, I always think I need to save energy, not go as hard as I might. Totally unlike swimming, where I know exactly how fast I can go for how long, to do the best I can in a race. I don't have that kind of control over running.....yet.

I have 5 more weeks until the race, so will continue to follow my schedule. At some point, I am going to have to abandon my treadmill and head outside. I am dreading that as I know my time will falter and it will be more of a mental training than anything else. But unfortunately I can't run the race on my treadmill=)

I am loving this warmer weather for a number of reasons. But one of them is I am outside more and not so tempted by walking thru the kitchen and eating whatever is on the counter.

Must get out there and enjoy this beautiful day with my family.

Skater #2

This is the last one, it now has the black binding on it, so actually looks a bit sharper than this, but I didn't have the camera nearby as I was posting this.

Smarties, hmm, why mention them, well, if you read my previous posts, I talked about losing a few unwanted and undesirable pounds. My children have smarties in the house, well I have the control of them and they get a few each day... and fewer still as i had about 10 today. This being my first day of really trying to control the food entering mouth exercise! Oh well, what is a stay at home mom to do? PANIC, I tell you is what I am going to do. Especially when my friend stated she would like to lose some along with me! I must sign off now and go and worry the calories away.
