I have failed at NaNoRiMo. I was a bit preoccupied with other things than writing. Maybe if it weren't in November when I'm trying to start and finish a zillion knitted Christmas presents...
It has been announced to my entire family so I might as well announce it into cyber-world... as of December, I will be training for a marathon to be run in December 2006. I have corraled my sister in law (who roped my brother) and my mother into running it too. J has volunteered to be a training running partner (and don't think I won't call you) and I might be able to snag B to train with me too. Let me just say this... I do not run. I have not run since I was forced to in high school gym 15 years ago. This is a huge undertaking for me. But it's definitely a goal worth having wouldn't you say?
I have two socks of two different pairs of socks completed. A third sock of a third pair on on the needles. I figure if I can at least finish one sock of each pair, they'll get the gist. But I'm aiming to finish all socks.
What a GREAT goal! I want to run a 1/2 marathon before 2008...which means I should start training NOW. Oh well. :)

Definitely one of each pair is enough to give them the idea. I did the same thing to my Grandmother last year. She loved her one sock right after Christmas that she wore just one and showed it off to her friends. I think she was even happier when the mate showed up.
Good luck with the training. I'll keep checking for progress reports, so I'm holding you to it! Where's the marathon?
