WOOOOOHOOO!
I like em big and I like em long!!
Hey! I’m talking about the weekend, you dirty pigs. I love Memorial Day weekend. I think it comes at just the right time when spring fever has hit it’s hardest (here in New England anyway) and we are in desperate need for warmer temps… some sunshine and drinking beers outside. Not from the confines of these four walls. That’s what this weekend will bring. Big deep breath and relax. Not to mention of course what Memorial Day actually means, and to reflect on that.
What are your plans this weekend.. are you going to try out your mad grillin’ skillz? If you have any favorite recipes for your grill that you want to share.. please do. My goal is to do most of the food making on the grill this summer, but I only do so much, and I can not feed the family burgers, dogs, steaks, kabobs all summer long.. well, I could.. but they’d hate me for it. So.. share please?
I have a big weekend planned. I am running my first ever in my lifetime (including gym class) 5k tomorrow. I am not a runner. But, I figured if Mr. Knitpho can do a marathon, I can run 3.1miles. It just isn’t any 5k. I picked this one in particular only because it is called the Melody Miles 5k Road Race. How could I not participate in this? Miles was going to run with me, but he just didn’t get the training done to keep the distance at running the whole time. So,he’s going to run the 1mile fun run instead. I mean what are the chances of a race named with to very uncommon names in it! If you don’t hear from me again, it’s because I died and Mr. Knitpho was beyond embarassed and chucked me off the side to the road and left to rot. That may very well happen.
Then to celebrate, good friends over for a BBQ on Sunday who USED to be our neighbors, but WHO moved away and left us… and then a trip to our favorite ice cream place. I’m already thinking of what I’m getting, my goal is try something different every time I go, we’ll see how long I last.
Then Monday… R E L A X. K N I T. R E A D. N A P.
Have a great weekend!!!

Girlfriend I like ‘em big and long too.
Good luck tomorrow. I know you’ll do great and will live to tell about it. Like a horse running for a carrot, just think of the Stella at the end. =)

Good luck! You have inspired me to give some thought to starting to think about maybe making a plan to start running again.

Another big and long proponent here!
Good luck on the run, too. The Stella will be all the sweeter.
