Looking Back: November

Nov was i of those months where you lot experience sort of relaxed in addition to you lot recollect you lot accept enough of fourth dimension until Christmas in addition to thence all of a sudden, you lot teach a slap inwards the human face upward because it's already Thanksgiving in addition to the advent calendars are close to come upward out. This Nov I fifty-fifty scheduled a twain of "free" days inwards gild to teach some of my Dec errands done early, but they chop-chop became "non-free days" or at the really to the lowest degree "not every bit productive every bit I wanted them to be" days.

Running: This calendar month I did accept a twain of long weekend runs (20 + xx + eighteen miles respectively). That coupled amongst a race gave me a grand full for the calendar month of 126 miles. Aside from a run or ii on the weekends, I accept non been doing a lot of weekly workouts. However, I did rack upward xx miles of hiking, eighteen miles of cycling in addition to iii forcefulness preparation sessions. My goal for Dec is to produce at to the lowest degree 2 forcefulness preparation sessions per week.

Reading: I simply read 4 books inwards November, which on i paw is a fleck surprising since I did move for work. However, on the other hand, when traveling on the bird I watched movies instead of reading (The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game). Also, i of the books I read was 849 pages long in addition to it took me a piece to finish! The 4 books were:

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Spool of Blue Thread (3 stars)
Into Thin Air (4 stars)
11/22/63 (4 stars)
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Tale For The Time Being (3 stars)

Travel: Nov was (mostly) a calendar month of  doing things to a greater extent than or less my local area. I spent a twain of weekends going over to Marin to run on the Dipsea trail, I had my Dad see in addition to nosotros worked on some things to a greater extent than or less the house, I had people over for dinner, in addition to I met upward amongst friends for hikes. In addition, I hosted 17 people for Thanksgiving at my house, which went over pretty good inwards my opinion!

I did move for function to New York, in addition to I spent a fun fourth dimension amongst one-time friends inwards Brooklyn in addition to Queens earlier heading over to Manhattan for ii days inwards the utilisation there. My favorite matter to produce inwards the urban substance is to swallow in addition to I did enough of that! I had keen Haitian meat pies inwards Brooklyn in addition to Russian nutrient inwards Queens, in addition to thence inwards Manhattan went to ii keen restaurants: Deux Amis in addition to NoMad.

I am looking forrad to Jan when it volition hold out a fleck to a greater extent than relaxed in addition to I tin give the sack finally produce that projection inwards the yard that I accept been pregnant to produce for the in conclusion six months (wow, has it actually been six months already?). Until then, at that topographic point volition hold out a barrage of Christmas parties (I accept iii inwards the adjacent calendar week alone!) in addition to a fleck of shopping in addition to cookie making in addition to eating in addition to visiting in addition to hosting. And eating.

How did Nov teach for you? What is your favorite Christmas cookie (to brand or to eat)? How many Holiday parties volition you lot hold out manage this year?
