I have taken the whole winter off of pretty much all physical activity. It was cool for a bit, but the other day there was a sloth on the Ellen show, and I was identifying with the sloth a little too intimately. My surgeon told me to take off at least until "spring" to fully heal my knee. Well, it still feels like winter to me! :) No, I know it is time. I keep setting a start goal day and it keeps getting moved another and another and another day. I have no one to keep me accountable here. Finn and Atticus don't care if I make my workout goal for the day. And self accountability seems to have gone on strike. I need inspiration.
I signed up to be a bike escort for the Madison Half Marathoners on May 26th. I volunteered in the same capacity last year and really enjoyed it. It was so hot that day, that is what I recall. They canceled the full marathon as a matter of fact and now the Madison full marathon is run in November this year for the first year.
I registered Finn for 4K in February. It will begin in September 2013. He is going to love school. I am excited for him and all the new experiences he is going to have at school. And all the new friends. I am also scared for him. I remember, even from that young age, just how cruel some children could be with their words and actions.
I have been working on a film project with director, Mary Jo Oathout, off and on since last year. Just this month she asked me to assistant direct the film. I have never worked on a film in this role before so it is a real learning experience. The script is still in development and I continue to work on research. The film focuses on the true story of a 30 yr old cold case that took place in Columbus, WI. I will keep you updated on the progress.
Here's to spring coming our way very, very soon. I cannot remember the feeling of sunshine on my skin anymore.
