Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I have been spinning the yellow/red dyed roving I pictured last time. Just like I thought the singles are very subtle and pretty. I was surprised as I spun it how much of the roving had a pink hue to it. It didn't look that way to me when I dyed it but it looks nice anyway. I am half way done with bobbin number 2 so I should be plying tonight or tomorrow. I have decided to spin the KoolAid roving as a single. Since I am not the best single spinner yet I have ripped it down into about the size I want the finshed yarn to be. We will see how successful I am.

I have also decided to run in a 5k in March. My hubby and I have been running for the last 3 weeks to get in shape and I thought if I had a goal I would be more willing to keep it up. So far I am doing well, running 3 days a week and getting stronger. I am following a program that has you walking and running to start building up as you go and it seems to work. The 5k is the Race for Autism and is a fairly flat easy course so the goal should be possible but not easy to achieve. Worst case I can run/walk as it is also a walk and not look like a total loser but I am trying for a run start to finish.
