W3D2: I’ve never been happier to be “below average”

My VO2max is out of the low range and well into below average. I’m thrilled.

Grad school was hard. I gained a masters degree and 30 pounds. Since finishing in April, I’ve been trying to return to my old self.

I really am objectively feeling better. T-minus one month until my yearly hiking trip in the Rockies and I have faith I lll actually enjoy it.

My very first quilt top. Any advice on how to actually “quilt” it?

This is my very first quilt. I’ve been sewing clothes for about 8 years but a good friend is having a baby and I wanted to make her something. It turned out nicely and just needs a good ironing.

I just finished the quilt top. All I have is a domestic machine so I’m not sure how to actually quilt the thing.

After two years of grad school I gained a masters degree and ~30 pounds.

The summer before going back to school, I went on a hiking trip in the Rockies and was running my way up mountains no problem. Now, i have the same trip booked for the end of June and my watch yelled at me for “low cardio fitness”.

Yeah, no shit.

Anyways this was awful but I’m determined to run 5K before my trip so my heart doesn’t explode up in the mountains.

Salut!
