Better than knitting

Well, not really, but I'm incredibly proud of this! I finished my first 5k (3.1 mile) race since John was born. Really, I finished!

I used to race triathlons, so I'm used to seeing all sorts of bizarre pre-race rituals. I've never seen anyone do this before a race, though. It's fun being a mom.

And I knit on the drive to and from the race -- what could be better? Here's one of the cardigan fronts. It's interesting knitting sideways as the pieces seem to go very quickly. One more front piece and the back to go!
