wasn’t I just writing out the goals for 2015? For more reasons than this challenge, this year has gone by in a flash. It’s somewhat bizarre to be writing up 2016 goals before wrapping 2015 but a) I’m traveling for the next two days and b) I’ve already been overthinking 2016 way too much. I… Read More »
At least the one I’m planning on at this moment. Level: 50+ Married with Children I think the reason I’m struggling with finishing the A-Z challenge is an issue I’ve had since high school. I hate being told what to read. If I have to read something, I won’t. That’s why I end up avoiding things… Read More »
so I realized today that at the end of 2014 I said I wouldn’t read 54 books again. About that. I’ve read 88 so far. That is, in a word, insane. 11.5 books this month is going to be hard with work eating the first half, but I’m going to push hard. I really want… Read More »
so I added October’s deficit to November and… topped that by 18K! And then I was setting up my December goals and went to check Jan-November against my 2015 goal and realized I hit it 50K steps ago. Woot! November 2015 totals: 275,413 steps 113.17 miles walked Q4 totals to date: 568,397 steps 223.57 miles… Read More »
While I finished the month strong-ish, it wasn’t quite enough to hit my September goals. 292,984 steps walked 120.4 miles walked If I’d realized I was that close I’d have taken 16 more steps for 293K. I actually realized about midway through the month that 300K wasn’t happening but, when I came home from… Read More »
77 books read so far in 2015. Could 100 really happen? 21 in Q3 and I’m currently in the middle of 3 so very possible. 35 unfinished puts me over so technically I’ve started more than 100 books already. On the A-Z front, I have no idea so let’s see. I was missing the following… Read More »
How on earth is it already October?!? How have I still not finished the photos from my trip? Despite some amazing steps while exploring the National Parks, September was the challenge I knew it would be. My totals: 309,764 steps walked 126.38 miles walked I should be (and am) happy that I hit 300K on… Read More »
[fsg_gallery id=”17″] Ahh mountain air. Crisp, cool and slightly damp mountain air. Such a nice change from Swamp York City. My hotel in Cortez was only minutes from Mesa Verde so after a nice breakfast (Holiday Inn cinnamon rolls for the win!) I was on my way. To be honest, I’m glad I didn’t know… Read More »
1,297 photos, keeping 1,142 and 2.4GB of photos. Oh visiting a beautiful place. This trip came about partially on a whim, partially driven by books. There was a Jet Blue fare sale and an expiring flight credit, but there was also Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon series which put Mesa Verde on my radar. As I… Read More »
Have I seriously never posted about the 50 before 50 aka visit all fifty states before I turn 50 challenge? Maybe because as of last year, I didn’t think it was going to happen: But 2015 has been very good for my progress: With this past week’s trip to New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado (amazing!… Read More »
