READING: Still working on The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. It is beautifully written. A pleasure to read so far. It's long, though, so I'll be working through it for awhile.
WATCHING: BSG!!!!! TONIGHT!!!!! Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maeveh and pigbark for hosting us tonight. I think this will be the first time I've ever watched an episode of the new BSG as it airs (i.e. not on hulu.com or scifi.com).
PLANNING: See above. Also,glaucon and I are going to Portland this weekend, partly to see evernanon and her spouse, and partly to see alice_at_night, who will be up from San Francisco. I haven't seen her for over 2 years, so I'm looking forward to it!
KNITTING: I finally broke through the cuff barrier on my Cardigan for Arwen. (Sorry, too lazy for links today.) I finished both cuffs yesterday morning, and now I have the first sleeve done and the second sleeve about halfway done. By "done" I mean to the armpit. The body is already done to the armpit, and is just waiting to be joined with the sleeves in raglan-shouldered bliss.
And here comes the new R. Wait for it....
RUNNING: Yes, I am running again. Ever since I developed tendinitis last fall, I've been super discouraged and unable to motivate myself to try, try again. This week--the result of a secret New Year's resolution--I have finally begun to break through that motivational barrier. The first hurdle--getting my feet into the shoes and my ass out the door--was high, but it's not the highest one I'll face. That'll come in 3-4 weeks, when I hit the very predictable "first plateau." Anyway, I am treating myself like a full-on "couch potato" and following the exceedingly gentle Couch to 5K Plan from Cool Running. (OK, so I set aside my laziness to bring you a link--I just have to point that out; it goes with the theme of the new R.) My hope is that the plan will be challenging enough to get me back into shape and keep me interested, but gentle enough to forestall the tendinitis. I'm working on week 1 of the plan this week--I'll finish it tomorrow. Every Friday, I'll report my progress here.
