Tapering is a term in running which refers to reducing the workload as you approach a race – to be fresh to do your best.\u00a0 It is a difficult period for most runners, because you get anxious that you will lose ground when you are not actively training.<\/p>\n

I am currently starting to taper for the Portland marathon, which is in 3 short weeks, so I “only” ran 16 miles this Saturday.\u00a0 Of course, then I ran 8 miles on Sunday, so I still did a pile of mileage – just over 2 days.\u00a0 I need to reduce my effort significantly, but I am tapering my “taper”.\u00a0 Right?<\/p>\n

As usual, I am finding parallels between my running and my knitting.\u00a0 My part of the Book is done, and other people are working hard to pull it all together.\u00a0 I am not allowed to change or add anything, but I can’t seem to stop knitting patterns from the content.\u00a0 I think this is a good sign, that I still love them, and they still work when I knit them.\u00a0 But really, I need to move on!\u00a0 I knit two Rose City hats this week, and they will be gifts to folks who contributed their time and energy to the Book, and will love the hats.\u00a0 And, since I really liked the yarn for one of them, I am going to knit one for myself.\u00a0 Then I will be DONE.\u00a0 (Yeah, right)\u00a0 If you want to see a sneak peek of “Annetarsia Knits”, check out the new e-mail sign up page, here on the website.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I am back to working on the Roseleaves tunic, which I love, immensely.\u00a0 And, I have a new project to distract me.\u00a0 Linda Cortwright sent a design for Dreaming of Shetland<\/a>, but she didn’t send a finished sample.\u00a0 It took awhile for us to notice this, but when we did, I volunteered to knit the project.\u00a0\u00a0 And look what they sent me to knit with!\u00a0 Today is a good day.\u00a0 This project should distract me as I try not to feel guilty for running less in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
