C25K - Week 4

I started C25K week 4 last night. Didn't quite manage to do it as planned.

5 min walk warm up
Run 3 mins, walk 90 sec
Run 5 mins, walk 2.5 mins
Run 3 mins, walk 90 sec
Run 3 mins (was supposed to run 5 mins here but just couldn't do it)
5 min walk cool down

I will build up that last run though. Burnt 400 calories in just under 1/2 hour doing this, which is a quite good calorie burn for me.

I stuck at week 3 for about 3 weeks so chances are I'll be at week 4 for that long. Either that or I need to be more consistent in my training.

Craft Projects 2009

To follow off from last years craft projects here is that updated list with a few new items:

To do:

1. Original Quilt (Created back in like 2002 - 2003, the top is all together, just have to do the backing quilting and binding)
2. Cross stitch given to me by K (Haven't started it yet, was focusing on the Enchantress one)

Half Done:

1. 21st Quilt - Combined the squares and it looks good. Now to do a border and then quilt it together.
2. Enchantress Cross-stitch - Have not touched it all year. Unlikely to touch it again before the end of the year.
3. Crocheted Amigurami - Need to do her shell and she's done.
4. Finish off the dress I'm making for myself. It was going to be a template for the ball in Oct, however as I found The Perfect Dress the urgency to finish it isn't there anymore.

Completed:

1. Mum's Christmas present
   
2. Crocheted a hat and scarf and gloves. They were fun.

Lemonade Scones

I haven't baked scones in a very very long time. At least 6 years I think. I was inspired to do so because K and A are coming over for afternoon tea.

I had the option of choosing my Great Aunts recipe or use a Lemonade Scones recipe from Taste.com.au. I chose the new recipe because I've never used lemonade in a scone recipe before so it was kind of exciting. As I'd been raised on my Great Aunts recipe, when I heard that you could make scones from lemonade I knew I had to try the recipe, if only because of the novelty factor.

The mixture made about 9 scones, I used a glass to cut them into circles. They were quite delicious if I do say so myself.
