Just in time for Christmas! Really been slack about blogging lately.
Swim: 6600 yards, 2 swims
Bike: 8.8 miles, 1 ride
Run: 54.8 miles, 9 rides, 1 race
Strength: 2 times
Yoga: once
Wow, I really thought I swam more than that. Work has been crazy planning stuff for 2018 so I haven't been able to make the noon practices, which are my favorite. Actually, I thought I ran and rode more than that too. November saw the start of official marathon training the weekend after my last race of the year (City of Oaks 10k). I missed the 12 mile long run thanks to the Thanksgiving weekend, but the rest of the month was pretty regular. Clearly I need more cross training in December, and the 21st is a difficult time to realize this.
I didn't write up a big Thanksgiving post either, but there is a lot that I'm grateful for. Family, a wonderful job, living in a fun city, you name it. This year has been so much better than 2016 was, while still being pretty terrible by most standards.
Here's some of the fun we got to have in November:
 |
| The magical "flying" race photo where both feet are off of the ground!! |
 |
| Sunny day driving with the top down |
 |
| Snuggle time with my sweet Ella |
 |
| Lofting board and new tiny sawhorses! Starting to work on the next boat |
 |
| Kelley and I had our 19th wedding anniversary |
 |
| We started a massive kitchen remodel |
 |
| Ella and I built a guillotine for a school project |
 |
| The rabbit bit through the power cord of my laptop, I had to crimp it back together! Nerd alert |
 |
| Thanksgiving was wonderful at home with my big family |
 |
| Got the Christmas tree up! |
 |
| And Ella got to put the topper on (she's also well over 5' tall now) |
 |
| rippin down plaster, Bane style |
 |
| I did some electrical work on that wall too |
 |
| Replaced the floor underneath the old refrigerator location |
 |
| with new flooring that is almost an exact match! freaky cool |
 |
| And I framed up for some new cabinets at the end of the month |
November really was a good month. I was busy, there was always something interesting going on. Between the holiday and this kitchen remodel and the start of marathon training it was kind of a blur. This kitchen remodel is getting huge!

I'm so impressed by all of the remodeling you've been doing in your house. I can't wait to see the before and after shots of the kitchen! It's awesome that you are so handy and can do all of this yourself!
I'm glad that the year is closing on an upswing for you as far as your activity level. I am sure 2018 is going to be a great year since you can get back to doing the things you love!!!
