Handmade Cards

Last week I explored silk screen printing. I cut out my little tree design from paper, and taped the paper to the screen. Then I screen printed a few greeting cards.


I am offering them to anyone interested for a $3 donation to DFMC per card. The cards are white with a deckle, blank inside, 5" x 6 7/8", and come with matching envelopes. I would also be happy to ship these granted that I am reimbursed for the shipping costs.

Training Or Not Training

Many people ask me if I have already started training for the Boston Marathon. Have I? Most marathon training programs are about 18 weeks long. With the race being over 5 months away, I have not officially started on any programs. However I am running.

My goal is to have no injuries, to get stronger, stay strong, and then get even stronger. To do that, I am running 4 times a week for a total of about 25 miles. Each week includes a tempo run, an interval workout, and a 10 mile run. This regimen leaves 3 more days per week for other exciting activities--1 day for rest, and 2 days for stength training.

I will start a yet-to-be-determined training program around mid December, because it is not sufficiently cold yet for all those long runs.
