Looking Back: November

Nov to me agency the commencement of many things: the rainy season, the holidays, the  goal of the year. It is ever foreign when it hits you lot that this twelvemonth is almost over! Then you lot start to reverberate on what has happened over the in conclusion twelvemonth together with it all seems to move a chip surreal at times! Here are the stats.

Running: In Nov I ran 172.7 miles together with climbed 34,108 feet. Most of my mileage was due to a distich of longer runs on the weekends every bit good every bit 1 race, the Quad Dipsea (QD), which has larn variety of an annual tradition. The QD is a ii fourth dimension out together with dorsum which has near 2,500 feet of climbing for each out together with each back, for a full of almost 10,000 feet. This is ever held the weekend later on Thanksgiving together with is an splendid way to burn downwardly off those turkey calories. I also biked 41.8 miles, which brings the yearly full to 268.8 which is an average of near 5.6 miles or 1 circular trip commute per week.

Reading: I did non read every bit many books inwards November, most probable for a few reasons. One, my audio-book reading fourth dimension goes downwardly when I am non inwards the auto or running lone together with I did non actually create much of either. For existent books, I select been getting regular sometime difficult backs from the library, which past times the way never select every bit long of a concord menstruum every bit the eBooks. However, other things inwards life are taking upwardly precious reading time, thence I select non been doing every bit much reading of the existent books either. Here is the listing inwards guild of preference (audio-books inwards italics). I ended upwardly reading five books.

Travel: This calendar month I did non stray every bit good far from home, to a greater extent than oft than non because it was the holidays together with I hosted thence I stayed only about for that, together with and then I had the Quad Dipsea 1 weekend thence I stayed only about for that. Otherwise, I did a quick weekend trip to Pomona to give-up the ghost to the NHRA drag race finals, which were a lot of fun fifty-fifty though my guy did non goal upwardly winning. Also, I did give-up the ghost to Marin county for runs amongst friends together with to create the annual volunteering gig amongst my brother, where nosotros sweep the course of report of the North Face 50 mile race. After doing it for 4 years inwards a row, nosotros finally earned a novel radio receive this year. We volition heretofore move known as: Menudo!

Etc.: The garden is dead. I was thinking of planting some wintertime things, but am non certain I volition larn to it inwards fourth dimension (or mayhap I am already to late). So right away it's only raking time, although I did purchase a fun toy, a leafage blower, thence I volition in all likelihood select some fun amongst that inwards the coming days! Although I select never actually used 1 before... Wish me luck!
