here I am! over here!!!

here we go again. radio silence here at chez knitpho. it’s not that i have been swamped with loads of stuff, again.. your just getting all my goings on over at all the other internet outlets that I love to hate and hate to love.

so what’s been going on with you? fill me in … even though I’ve read your status updates and or tweets.. so I do know whats going. I still read blogs and love to see what my friends near & far are up to.. so I thought I’d give the ‘ol blog a good old fashioned updated. so here’s whats be going on.

Running. Well, this last week I was down & out. I tweaked my back, with a muscle spasm or a pinched nerve and holy shit did it hurt. I could feel it getting worse and then from being so tense and hunched over – my wSohole body just tensed up and after a week, I’m finally almost 100%. It’s hard not to exercise – I mean when you want to and can’t is one thing, but to not go because your lazy is entirely different. I have a 5k in the middle of May, so I have some ground to make up as I am going for a speedier time. Speaking of races… the mister and my boy ran a 5k this past week ( day 1 of pure back torture) and this race was all about Miles and Sandy was just running with him and supporting our son the whole way. Miles ran in 30:14 and holy cow.. he’s awesome. They both are!

Mia ran too … it didn’t go as well. She started out strong, a quick trip and she was done for the day.

NEXT! KNITTING! ….

i knitted this Jane Austren dress from the new mason dixon book.. details on my Rav … she wore it for Easter and it was just the cutest thing ever. The pattern is a wee bit wonky and the fit didn’t go all that right. .but it looks great.

Mia picked out the deep pink print and we seamed up, added a hem and then hand stitched it to the knitted body.
It’s finally warming up here in the great Northeast, so she’ll be able to get some more use out of it.

I am in the midst of a KAL with 4 friends. We’re all knitting the same sweater for all our girlies. from size wee little baby size to Mia being the oldest. Pics soon.. I hope anyway.

So.. that’s the excitment around here- can you see WHY I haven’t updated. Back is finally on the mend and i am at 98% so I hope to start running again this week.. and with the warm temps – I can’t wait to get out there!!!!

Hope all is well with you blogland… hopefully there will be more to blog about since the sunny weather appeared and Im out of my winter blues funk.
