So, while running after school today, I was thinking about how bad I've been at keeping my blog updated.
And then it hit me....
The name of my blog is Amy's PASSIONS; it was so titled because I had full intentions of keeping track of all of my passions: quilting AND running, with some family and garden intermixed along the way.
So, my quilting has slowed down; duh right. Any of my regular followers have already determined this, BUT, perhaps when I start getting back into regular blogging of my OTHER passion (ie: running), I'll keep and/or add more followers. :D
So, to my regular readers; oh TRUST ME! I will still quilt!!!!!! It's simply taken a little bit of a back seat to my running right now; at least until the Green Bay marathon is over.
And my run today...
OUTSIDE running again BAY-BEEE, WITH my favorite App! :)
Mother Nature is obviously still working on her kinks of Spring thoughts. Today's 38 degree temp could have been lovely (??), but it kinda gets negated when you throw in a 12 mph wind.
As I'm always trying to look for the positive lately.....
At least She gave me the opportunity to improve my strength by offering up that amazing wind resistance training.
Back to the App for a moment...
Depending on how you turn the iphone, the visible screen/data changes. I just found out tonight that if I turn it landscape when looking at my 'outdoor' run, I get a breakdown of each mile. Ummm, COOL or what?!?!?! And I find it interesting: the full wind was hitting me for almost all of mile 4. Hey! I'll take that! It was my 2nd slowest mile today! Today's run was supposed to have me running 11:26/mile pace; a nice-n-easy "recovery" run after my 10 mile over the weekend, but.......I simply can't run that slow right now! I DID take my time, but my training logic is telling me that if I want to eventually run my marathon at 10:00/mile (GOAL) pace, my easy paced days shouldn't be much more than a minute slower than that.
???
I'll do some more reading on that, I suppose...

Wow! Way to go! And, just so you know, I like to hear about your running and gardening and family just as much as your quilting!
Good for you! We all have various passions along with quilt making. Personally, I would rather poke my eyeballs out than run, but, you go girl!
LOL..you blog about anything you want...I will still be reading! Sometimes it is good to take a break from one passion and get into another! For me that other passion is reading--I wish it burned as many calories as your running! :)
I don't comment as much anymore, but I think your blog is still great. It is about 'you' and so whatever is your passion at the time is still of interest to me. I follow the quilting, the family, the gardening the teaching, the woes and the running. It is a part of the whole you and I know whatever part you're sharing will be done wholeheartedly. As Kevin the Quilter said, "you go girl". You are woman! (I think of that Helen Reddy song when I admire one of our female sex. Consider yourself admired.)
