Felt better today than yesterday. I got a lot done on my picnic blanket I'm making. It's almost entirely out of old jeans and pants. I cut up my very very very very very favorite jacket that I wore almost every day in Russia (during the summer..it was cold there) and almost every day on my runs for years when it was cold. I'm sure I kissed my boyfriend in Moscow in this jacket and did lots of other memorable things. (Sasha was not my boyfriend while I lived in Moscow...he likes to hear about past boyfriends however because it reminds him that he won and somebody else was in the race) I cut the jacket up because the strings came out of it somehow and it would be veeeery difficult to fix and is unwearable without them. Anyway..I can't wait to explore good places for picnics this summer. We have a plan to combine the evening runs with park/picnic adventures along the trail. |
