Still working out the kinks

Today was an interesting day. I'd heard about this great interval training program that burns a lot of calories/fat and thought I might try to incorporate it into my routine. I did about 1.25 mi (walk .15, run 1, walk .1), then broke into this interval training. I noticed my recovery improved over the course of the 12 or so minutes I was trying it. I was really pushing on the run intervals and took a long recovery, but found that each recovery period resulted in a faster return to a normal heartrate and breathing level. I'm definitely trying that again! I'm also interested in working more on the cycling, if I can just get myself out of bed earlier!!

I finished the fingerless mitts over the weekend and have had to repossess the dog sweater that I thought was done. Unfortunately, the original pattern didn't provide good finished measurements so I could gauge better. . .I failed Oliver by several inches at the broadest part of his chest. Luckily, it seems the whole shebang can be fixed up with a nice knit-on panel. I am also starting on the projects for the local theater. . .costume accessories that need to be knit. However, I can't decide if they are costumes or props!
