I took off the last couple of days of knitting/spinning because my left wrist was giving me a spot of trouble. Today I am back in action in more ways then one.
The recent news of bin Laden's death has got me thinking in a big way about all the many years of effort, time, resources, and sacrifices that the military has made in order to reach their objective. This inspired me to order more supplies for spinning and knitting items for the soldiers and veterans even though I haven't gotten quite all the donations in yet. My small sacrifice for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces.
I was also inspired to go out and run a mile this morning. Something I haven't done in over three years. I ran it in 13 minutes which isn't too shabby but I'd like to get it back down to where I'm running 7 minute miles again. Knitting/Spinning will help me with losing weight (40 calories an hour burned) to reach my personal weight loss goals and also to meet my goal of making at least three items per month to donate.
