I do not even remember learning to knit ...Londell,<br /><br />I do not even remember learning to knit (the first time). At my grandmothers knee I suspect. I relearned as a young teen and then again as a young adult. If I could only knit and run!!<br /><br />Agree with the weather... I am happy in a fairly narrow temperature range ;-> But it is much easier to layer for the cold.<br /><br />As far as Vit D. It is not only the quantity of daylight. But, up north the sun is at a very low angle, may decrease the amount of UV rays that reach the skin. Besides, even though Colorado is warmer than Minnesota I am assuming he has a fair amount of skin covered when out and about. That also affects the amount of Vit D made. It is an interesting phenomenon and not all folks in northern climates have a deficiency (ex: I don't - at least last time I checked a year or so ago). May be there is a genetic factor at work?<br /><br />At least it was checked and he can take supplements and hopefully will see some improvement in whatever symptoms prompted the testing.wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-23758948893826104102010-01-07T08:09:15.554-06:002010-01-07T08:09:15.554-06:00I have not sen knitting projects in 20 years. Bef...I have not sen knitting projects in 20 years. Before my Grandmother died. At UMTR party seeing you do it and seeing the hat picture brings back many memories, all good. I also envy your winter running. I like cold running best as we can put more clothes on, in 100 degree temps, at some point, there is nothing left to take off... <br /><br />Thanks for the your insight into Vit D. However, something you may not have noted, my son lives in colorado and loves tennis, running, biking and hiking. He is outside at least 3 hours a day while walking to school and so on... Never uses sunscreen. (I know, I did not teach him well!) Golden Colordao did not have not had much snow and cold until three weeks ago. So with all that sun he is getting, I get confused about this Vit D issue... just seems goofy?Londellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937126040128805154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-41513517226215339472010-01-06T20:59:50.378-06:002010-01-06T20:59:50.378-06:00Steve - gotta love the combination.... so much for...Steve - gotta love the combination.... so much for creationism ;-> Or, on second thought - they would like it wouldn't they?!wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-45336851165671502492010-01-06T20:56:11.556-06:002010-01-06T20:56:11.556-06:00Steve - just found your comments and will go look ...Steve - just found your comments and will go look at the sweater in a bit.<br /><br />Sam - Thank you! It is my new favorite for running. So, there goes the idea of donating it to a running groups prize drawing ;-><br /><br />Runs are almost always good, even when they start out feeling sucky. I am continuing the same mileage, though wondering about racheting back a bit for the long run(s) this weekend. Soccer will hopefully substitute for that - though if I don't see much field time I will either have to play for more than one team or not worry about doubling up my workouts.wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-62771382151414616372010-01-06T20:48:01.994-06:002010-01-06T20:48:01.994-06:00LOVE THE HAT!!!!

I think my unofficial goal for the year is 1500 miles (last year I reached an all time high of 1200).<br /><br />CBS Sunday Morning did a story on Ugly Christmas Sweater parties... there are some atrocities out there.

It is an interesting sensation when you are out there running on really cold days: warm on the inside with a thin outer layer of cold/frost. Reminds me that if anything went wrong there is a very thin margin for between being okay and being in a lot of trouble. <br /><br />On the other hand - for someone who is always cold, there is nothing better than running on a cold day and being so warm I can pull my mittens off! ;->wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-76458661121421789782010-01-05T08:32:58.746-06:002010-01-05T08:32:58.746-06:00OMG I LOVE it!!OMG I LOVE it!!Megan L.
