    Having a great time at the Knitters Festive Season Celebration! http://twitpic.com/t5mug

    @carbolicious Yay! Glad to hear it. Hope you feel better soon.

    Just completed a 5.15 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/7pqCeT #RunKeeper

    In a cab on the way to the Opera House to see the Symphony perform Haydn’s “Creation”. Thanks to @Kat13v for the tickets!

    The symphony was great! Even this atheist who knows nothing about music was entertained. My favorite bit was Raphael and the worm.

    @gadgetgirl70 Neat! Was thinking of making a trip to see that too…

    After all the excitement of yesterday, Sunday stretches before me with absolutely nothing scheduled other than knitting and TV. Bliss.

    Ahhhhhh! Busy day. Busy day. Getting lots done; just that none of it is actually on my To Do list. 🙁

    @WildChildinAUS It doesn’t, for me. You just get used to it.

    @knitabulous @randomknits SWEET. We’re bringin’ it to the fuddy-duddies.

    @sharre Oh noes. Mine is knitting related AND kitsch AND silly!

    @crumpet Thats nearly a sprint! Slow it WAY down and do it for three times as long. 🙂

    @DDsD Knitters Festive Celebration at Sidewalk Cafe at Opera House from 2. Bring sticks and string. 🙂

    Where are the buses? I may be a few minutes late to the Guild meeting…

    @witty_knitter Just caught the 470 so I must be in front of you.

    Just got word that our meeting will have an unexpected visitor. This could be interesting. I’m not gonna do a damn thing differently.

    @DDsD Wait til we get drunk. Tipsy Knitters en masse is a formidable sight.

    @Justacogitating I sleep with my iPhone. Really.

    Had my first visit to the upper floor of Bill & Toni’s. Schnitzel was good, but man… Slightly intimidating crowd up there.

    RT @Justacogitating: But isn’t the monthly $$ ungodly on the iPhone? // Not in Oz. We have it on 5 different carriers. 🙂

    Keep Calm and Cast On. Lovely! I should get one of those printed for my office.

    This is the time of year when I start thinking dangerous thoughts about the upcoming race season. I’m someone who always needs a goal and a training plan to stay motivated, and lately I’ve been thinking about… the big one. The marathon. Could I really do it? It would certainly be something to work for. It’s stuck in my brain now, and I can’t shake the idea. I even googled to look for possible destination marathons next spring.

    First things first though, right? Before I even consider marathon training, I need to build up my weekly mileage. I’ve been averaging about 20kms a week or so, and I need to just about double that to have a decent “base.” I’m using this buildup plan and so far it’s going well. (I’m halfway through Week 2.) I’ve successfully increased to running four days a week with 1-2 days of additional cross training. I’m still forefoot running, and my only pain at the moment is a twinge in my right calf. (I think some ice and Voltaren are in order there.) My current plan is to run the Sydney Half Marathon in May and then see how I feel after that. If I do go for the marathon, it would likely be the Melbourne Marathon in October.

    The other big news is that I bought a Timex Heart Rate Monitor and I’ve been using it for the past week. For effective base training, I’m meant to stay within 70-80% of my maximum heart rate (with one run a week up to 85%). That’s actually meant slowing right down, and on warm days I have to walk the hills to stay within it. The more I do it though, the faster I’ll get within that range. The Timex works great, and I definitely recommend it for any other interested beginners. You do have to wear a chest strap, but it fits pretty nicely under the band of my sports bra. When I’m running with my HRM on my left arm and my iPhone with RunKeeper on the right, I feel like the BIONIC WOMAN!

    It’s a Christmas miracle! I got 100m on the rowing machine at Spudds today… TWICE. TWICE! I AM INVICIBLE!

    AWESOME! Just got an email confirming that I won one of the Buon Ricordo cookbooks from @NotQuiteNigella! http://bit.ly/vtcu6 YAY!

    @NotQuiteNigella I had to go back and see how many entries you ended up getting. Now I’m even more amazed I won! I never win anything!
