Nobody said running was glamorous . . .
Case in point:

Hahaha!! Found this photo of me during the recent Run Melbourne.
As you can tell by the pained look on my face, this was at a point in the race when I was thinking, “What the HECK am I doing here?? What is the whole point of this?!“, which was soon followed by what can only be described as the dead man’s shuffle and the mantra, “I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die . . .” :-)
I’ve managed to do a little sewing here and there but everything is still in a state of ‘in progress’. It’s been so lovely just hanging out with my two little girls with no schedule and no need to rush anywhere. I do hope to have something crafty to post up soon (it’s been a while . . .).
Thank you for the comments on previous posts and emails. I am a little behind on responding but hope to catch up on the weekend.
Hope you are all having a fantastic week!

a loooooooooooong time ago (like 13 years) I ran the Peachtree Road Race here in Atlanta. The picture of me toward the end looks a lot like yours, only color my face lobster red. It was frightening looking. I really didn’t train enough for the race, and it showed! but I made it.
GO, JHO!
Good on you for running! ha…I couldn’t make it around the block!! Enjoy the precious time with your girls & I look fwd to your next crafty post!! :)
Oh Jho - keep up the perserverance!!! I definitely look a lot worse than that when I do my little 2km runs. And I really don’t know how you run in the cold. I’ve been trying and I just feel NUMB all over, like a block of ice trying to run - LOL!
I admire you, When i could have walked i didn’t now when i cannot i wish i could and it is now too late, Good on you for doing it.
Hooray Jho…I’m loving sharing the run with you.
Congratulations Jhoanna!
I think you’re looking very in control.
