Another great session at the BQSG seminar. @joethequilter took us through his Quilting Life. Lots of inspiration for the future. Thanks to @thequiltersguild and #qgbibqsg
Excellent talk from Helen of the @bradfordtextiles to the British Quilt Study Group seminar. We’ll be visiting the archive for a study day in the Spring. #quiltersguildbqsg @thequiltersguild #britishquiltstudygroup
An excellent morning diving into the Quilters Guild Collection to look at three of their Canadian Red Cross quilts. Each with a story to tell, we know a little but it would be lovely to know more. @thequiltersguild #batextilespractice @bradfordtext
A planned visit to @whitechapelgallery to see the exhibition Peter Kennard: Archive of Dissent was turned into a lesson from the master! @peterkennardx was there to speak with a small group of students, but he gamely took on the much larger crowd who

New Year!

beanz
Well have I every intention of making it as good a new year as I can - difficult to say "happy" when there is so much going on in the world.

Runningminibeanz and I have been for our run - 36 minutes in the park - mud, hills, woods, squirrels birds ..... In fact it was listening to the birds singing that got me out of bed early on this Saturday morning! Minibeanz's first run since before Christmas as he has had a stinking cold. Club starts back on Tuesday and races next two Saturdays so he needed to get back into it. I think I am slow enough to make him run gently!

So aims for this year:

Work - not leave work to the last minute - do some proper scheduling and stick to it - this means limiting time on forums of course!!

Health - eat more healthily, aim to lose a pound a week - should be at goal before next Christmas that way.

Running - keep up base training after FLM, 30 miles/week should be reasonable

Fitness - do some core stuff everyday - this will be hard to stick to as I find it a chore

where: in the park
how far: 3.9(ish) km 2.4 miles
time: 36.55 (was supposed to be first day of 40 minutes - but did not go far enough!)
pace: 15.1 minute miles
AHR: 134

tomorrow: 40 minutes on the road

tready or nothing

first long run of the campaign
