Crazy Idea

Sorry about the scary photo.  That is my knee.  See - I had this crazy idea that it would be fun to do a fun run/walk every month of the year, and then make a blanket out of the tee shirts. 

Well the first one was yesterday.  Apparently I'm a klutz.  I tripped over the road, falling and skinned my knee - thank goodness it's still tights weather!



The really good news?  It was just under 4 miles and we managed to finish in 50 minutes!  We set a pace of 13.23 minutes per mile or some such thing.  The bad news - I might be either too old or too out of shape to do this.  My hip is killing me today.

    Yikes! Good for you to commit to the fun run/walks...Boo for falling down! Hope you're okay by the weekend to peruse acres of fabric...LOL!!! I will email you later to iron out a plan. It's been crazy nuts here and then yesterday we lost power with the freaky storm that rolled through! It just came back on this morning. Never a dull moment...

    Sorry you fell, G. Sometimes the worst part of doing something klutzy is the embarrassment of being SEEN doing something klutzy. anyway, it will make a good story for that patch of your quilt. Keep it up! You're a better woman than I am for running.

    I'm with you on the klutz factor. I trip over my own feet all the time!

    Rest up and take care!

    Good for you for trying! I used to be a great walker and sprinter, but I've never gotten my walking ability back together after my surgery. And a plan to visit acres of fabric next weekend....the comment by Sewfast? I'm jealous!

    awww... well, I trip up the steps all the time, if that makes you feel any better. Good company and all that.

    Try some Aleve. It works wonders (1 in the morning and 2 at night)

    Good for you ! I'm still forcing myself to do my 30min walk most days. A 5m run is still way beyond me LOL.

    BTW - I was sure I'd commented on the last couple MMM posts - I LOVE the herringbone skirt.

    ...and a plan is in the works for fabric perusing ? shopping ? I'm with Marjie - Jealous :-)
