How I Pass the Time When Not Running


After work, I usually run, play tennis, bike or do yoga.

Now what??


I do love to read.  I finished The Weird Sisters and am in the middle of Between Shades of Grey. I usually go to a used book stroe and trade in books and pick up new ones.  Believe it or not, the owner was handing out bookmarks.


Yup, that’s the 5k in my town (my 5k PR race 😦 )  How depressing!!!

The one person that is happy about my injury is my knitting friend.

When I broke my ankle, I knit 2 hats and 3 socks (due to her encouragement.). I stopped knitting as soon as I could run.

So now I am finishing the 2nd pair (the  pink one) and plan to make a third pair (the blue one).  My friend gave me a gift certificate back in May for a knitting store so  I finally went and bought wool for 2 more pairs of socks.  I thought I might enjoy applique but I found out that I prefer to knit.

And there’s also TV…

Counting down the days until I can run!!!!

Happy Running!  How would you pass the time if you couldn’t run?

  1. So lovely to see someone with common interests! I just started running about 10 weeks ago, and my first 5k race is November 17 (so excited!). I’m 42 and started working on my 2nd career, so I’m currently in nursing school. Prior to that, I knit all the time! Now, there’s just.no.time… I’ll always, always have a book I’m in the middle of reading, though. Working on Black Ice by Michael Connelly – I love to find series by authors and start from the beginning. No matter what, I have to read! Thanks for the encouragement on your blog, and sorry for all the exclamation points!

  2. On my bike but you can’t do that either. Reading, movies, all the usual. What are the chances you get a bookmark of a race. Sad face here.

  3. I wish I knew how to knit back when I was injured…might have made my time off from running a little easier. I’m quite impressed with your socks! Haven’t had the courage to attempt making one, yet.

  4. You are a very well rounded girl…I too love to read but now most of my books are on my kindle fire…I do know how to crochet very simple things and it’s not really something I enjoy…so mostly I read, watch movies, blog and dream about running…tomorrow I can officially run for good…whoohoo! I have tried it the last two times I was out walking and it felt great!
