I suspect blogging will be hit and miss for the rest of the year. Weekend mornings (formerly prime blogging time) are spent running long distances and the afternoons are dedicated to chores (or recovering from running long distances) and the evenings are dedicated to eating and sleeping (and maybe knitting if I'm still functional). I will, however, try to update the blog whenever possible. We'll see how that goes. Based on my track record after returning from Belize, I'm not optimistic.
So, Belize. For a preview of some of our pictures, go here. I haven't updated the sailing blog either. Bad, bad Libran!
Knitting
Yes, there has been knitting. I finished the Tibetan socks, except for the weaving in of the ends. I've reached the toe on the long-neglected Monkey socks. I'm somewhere in the middle of a simple shawl. Nope, no pictures yet. Yes, there will be pictures at some point.
Running
The training has been going well. I'm increasing my mileage and completed a 23-mile trail run a couple of weeks ago. It was a blast! Then the heat and humidity hit us hard (it felt like we went from April straight to August), making running any distance miserable. Nonetheless, with 23 miles behind me, I think I'm well on my way to being able to complete the JFK 50 in November. Registration opens July 1 and that's when I've said I would commit. I'll be committing to a fall marathon as well, most likely Baltimore. Woo hoo!

I don't often participate in one of these, but it sounded like fun. I lifted it from Anne. Here goes:

Hey Teri! So good to hear from you! Looks like your life is full right now, which is always a good thing!
Good to hear from you! I'm so impressed with your running. I've said for years that I'd like to be a runner, but I just don't love it. I guess it makes more sense for me to do the things that appeal to me...but I keep thinking that running will someday work out. :)
Teri: You came to mind today when someone said to me that there needs to be a yarn shop in Leesburg. The running sounds grueling, but it's so awesome how we can train our bodies to do something like that. I have another knitter friend that does the JFK--perhaps we should rally some knitters to support you! Too bad the run doesn't go through Funkstown. I'm celebrating my 5th anniversary on June 28 (a few days early as I have travel on June 5)--hope you can make it!
Take care and looking forward to catching up soon.

Hi,
Very interesting idea, I don't know how my woodpecker came up for your high school? Must have been called Bethel?
Anyways, it was neat to find my picture here--my friend Ansley (lilsongbirdmama.blogspot.com) is really into knitting too!
