Oh Tino, my dear little Tino. The only one around here that ever asks me to knit/crochet things for him, and then actually consents to wearing them. Last weekend he wanted slippers, so I made him
these . Apart from looking a little 'girly' they didn't stay on, so I added the little bands
now they say on just fine and look more 'boyish', don't you think!
For the past week or so I've been reading Run Like a Mother - How to Get Moving and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity. Written with much humor, yet offering a
serious approach to training and simple running objectives for busy mothers - if you reach point B in 15 minutes try reaching it in 12 on the next run. It's right up my street, no point extolling to me the virtues of knowing my VO2 max and body fat percentage. It's not that I don't care I just don't want to take it
that seriously. I just like running, enjoying the scenery and completing the odd few races. But as Richi so recently pointed out, I have a
23K Cross coming up in 10 weeks 'so a little less reading and a lot more action, please.'
My ripple continues along, and is still small enough to carry around for a spot of crochet here and there...
