A favorite picture from Monterey.

Monterey Shawl
It's no secret that Monterey, CA is one of my favorite places. I love the ocean there and it was the inspiration for the shawl I started today. The top border consists of 34 motifs the remind me of waves. The color of the body is like the crest of the waves as they come ashore. After the body is finished I'll add side borders.

Back from CA
Monterey was amazing as always. I feel so at home there. Can't wait to move. Went on a short hike with my friend Friday. I enjoyed it a lot and I know she did too, so we will have to do a much longer one some other day. She used to do that sort of thing all the time, but you know how life is. One minute you're hiking and camping - the next you're trapped at a desk.
I didn't take as many pictures as I might normally have. Enjoying the company too much, but here are a couple.
The race was good, even if I didn't get a medal. I had fun and will get my medal next year! I'm determined and it was a very good experience. Everyone I met was so so very encouraging. I love race people. Runners, walkers, volunteers, organizers. They are almost always so nice and encouraging! I've met one or two "why are you here kinds, but only a couple. Everyone else is happy to see someone trying, even if they are not in great shape. It's a good environment.
Then I cam home and lounged and lounged and lounged and lounged. For not quite a week. Last night I was sitting at the computer posting pictures of cats when I realized I was wearing a shirt that said "You don't have to go fast, you just have to go". I started feeling bad because I had not been going and had no intention of going. So I grabbed another couple of layers, some gloves and then I went. It felt good! I only did 2 miles at a slow pace and the cold tightened up my muscles (niacin for today's outing) but I went, and I felt good. Got me back on track to go again. At least for today. Angie and I are going out later. Maybe that will get me on track for tomorrow. One day at a time!
