Spring, we invite you!

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.
