Runner’s Hat and Gloves

I started the new year out with a new client. They are a start-up company, with all the fast-and-loose workday scheduling that implies. I have been learning a lot about how to set boundaries and keep my role as a remote contractor; not trying to pretend I’m right there in the office able to switch gears at any moment. (the to-do priorities seem to change about that often.) And the whole 8-hour workday thing… it just doesn’t happen when one works at home. But! I have managed to keep mostly on top of my workout regimen. I do wait for the sun to be well up, if it’s going to be, and I don’t go running if it’s pouring down rain. But, the coldest times in Eugene are when it’s sunny anyway… Luckily I have my newly hand-knitted hat and gloves to keep the chill off until I get warmed up ‘n sweaty on my way up hill to home. Also notice my lovely 2 layers of performance fabric: a “wicking” poly-thermal layer and a streamlined fleece on top. These are courtesy of M.I.L C A-P. But I picked them out, and yes, I did make sure they matched my new handknits. Jog On!
