222 days and counting...

I like the idea of having a countdown on this thing rather than a marker of how long it's been since my heart was last broken.

Noah and I have been really great about sharing our enthusiasm with each other over this upcoming marathon. We tell each other about our runs, what we've had to eat that day, various tips we've picked up from different running sources. I'm so happy to have him training with me, even if he's doing so 3000 miles away.

I ran 5 times last week for a total of 13.73 miles. I have run 2 times this week so far for a total of 7.65 miles. One of them was a 5 mile run. I have not run 5 miles since highschool!

In knitting news, I've been slowly working on two scarf projects. I typically hate scarf projects but I wanted something relatively mindless to work on while I was cat-sitting and now baby-sitting.

The first is my Raspberry Chocolate Braided Scarf:

The second is my Peach Potatoes Scarf:

Who knows when I'll have time to finish these...

FOs: Falling Leaves Scarf, Cabled Fingerless Gloves & Candles!

The past few days have been full of creative energy. I'm running late to the UCC so I'll just post some pictures for now. Enjoy! 

 Cabled Mitts for the Boy's sister-in-law.

 Falling Leaves Scarf for the Boy's mother.

 Soy candles made at the UCC.

 Same candles, different angle.

Oh, I forgot to take a picture of the pillar candle I made in class a few weeks ago with the rest.

I'm off to make some Halloween themed candles to ship to the Boy's family, along with some yummy Persian treats. I wish my family would enjoy some of this stuff so I could make/give them these types of things. They just think it's a waste of time. Oh well.
