elvisknits: Yes, my last post was in November

Oh well. I struggle with blog commitment, but I think I'll try again now. I am sitting at work waiting for 5:00. I finished up all of the urgent projects, and since I did not take a lunch break, I'm taking it easy until it's time to go. I'm very excited about a trip I'm taking this weekend to Shiner, TX - touring the Spoetzl Brewery, and then going to Schulenberg to see the opening of Sengelmann Dancehall. I can't wait to put on my sweet cowgirl boots and do some dancing.

So since it's been about seven months since you heard from me last, here's a few updates:

Elvis and I moved in with James last December.
I finished EMT school and got my EMT license. Now I'm looking for a place to volunteer.
I retired from roller derby.
I'm slowly starting a little craft business to sell stuff I make. Got my permit, just need to make some stuff.
I'm still running, and now I'm training for my first marathon!

Now everyone is caught up and we can move forward. Oh, I'm also studying for the LEED exam in a few weeks. Most of my time lately is spent studying or running or seeing doctors for the running injuries. My body is fighting the extra miles - iliotibial band and hip issues, herniated disc, lots of fun. Physical therapy helps the leg, and the chiropractor did some snaps and pops and fixed my back so all is getting better. I have running running running on the brain. I'm reading books about marathons, training, what to eat, how not to kill yourself while running, etc. I'm learning a lot about a sport that I once thought was way out of my league to even try.

I haven't been knitting much lately. I usually only knit on Tuesdays at knitting group, but I'd really like to get some knitting time in every day. Maybe I could start doing some morning knitting meditation. I think that might be a good way to start the day.
