I know it's been awhile! Life had been super exciting with the first podcast interview in October and then I jumped into NaNo Month. For the month of November, I worked on a novel, something I've always wanted to do but hadn't had the chance. The month of November is set aside as a month of novel writing. Ideally, you hit 50,000 words in the month and can publish a novel. Sounds simple right?
Have you ever tried to write 50,000 words in one month? On the same topic? I can now say I have and it's definitely not easy. Halfway through I switched stories so now I have two half finished books, one I had previously worked on which I'm not editing and a website and blog that has been extremely neglected. But it's ok, because that's life.
Writing has been keeping me busy, which is a big win in my world. The other part of life, B keeps me busier than I want to admit. Between her gymnastics and keeping her social life intact, we've been busy. Yet, now that it's slowing down, it's nice. We work hard to just hang out and work together, which is good as there's another big event coming up for us....I've signed up for another half marathon.
Half marathon training is a challenge, as a single mom it's a bit more of a challenge, at least for me. There are only so many miles I can do on the treadmill without going stircrazy. Plus I like to run in the morning and not all of her friends are into early morning playdates. So we do what we can.
Since she's my main training partner, as in she gets to pick my crosstraining regime and decide some of that stuff, she is really involved in the training. Friday was a perfect example, we had a variety of activities going on and I needed to get 6k in. The only way to do it was outside, she jumped on her bike and we made loops around the apartment complex. It worked, not sure how many times it'll work but for now, we do what we need to do.
