I'm A Whimp

I was so happy that I could run 1 1/2 miles, but I'm paying for it now.  Now, I could have made the soreness worse by riding for the length of time I did, but I thought it would make it better - keep the muscles from getting tight.  Let me tell you, I was wrong.  And last night at karate proved just how wrong I was.  There's just nothing quite like having sore thighs and having your karate instructor kick you in the legs.  We're not talking about light kicks either, and the more I whimpered the harder he kicked.  Why?  He's twisted.  That's the only explanation I can come up with.  He tried to sell me a load of crap about it building character and being good for me, but I'm not buying that.  He just likes to torture me.  So, I'm supposed to run another 1 1/2 miles tonight and I'm hoping that it will alleviate some of the soreness, but I may just have to stay home from work tomorrow because I won't be able to walk.  That's the silver lining.

In knitting news, I seamed the SSS and I'm quite pleased with it.  I also finished the crochet on the neck, and still have the armholes to do.  The pattern doesn't call for any finishing on the bottom, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't do the same as for the neck.  What do you all think?  I'll get the SSS finished this evening and block it.  What's the best way to block a cotton blend?  Soak and spin it or spray it or since it's cotton should it take a quick tumble in the dryer?  Advise please!!  :)

Next up will be to finish the back of Ronnie, but I may not be able to stop myself from casting on for the zip cardi with the new Licorne.  What to do???

Have a great day.
