November Review

December 1, 2013

november-review

So… November was a crazy, but fun month. I didn’t get nearly everything accomplished that I wanted to, but I’m ok with that. I’ll just move them on to December. Here’s an update:

Crafty:
* Red Sweater: complete 25% – Ha. Nope. I didn’t even pick up the knitting needles at all in November.
* Complete the November block in the Sugar Block Club   Done!
* Complete the FRMQG Adventure Block for my swap partner  Done!
* Finish the quilt for my seester! – So, I decided to scrap the scrap quilt for her and do something different. Stay tuned for a blog post highlighting this quilt for her.
* Re-do the binding on my Supernova Wall Quilt  Done!

Run:
* 10k: Not sure if this will be a race yet or not, but I want to run the distance this month. Done! Ok, so I squeaked this one in on November 30th, but I did it.
* Add speed work at least once a week  My speed work included 800m repeats (on a track no less!), a 3ish mile tempo run, quarter mile-ish pick ups during a midweek run and during a longish run, I ran the last 10 minutes at a ridiculous pace. That last one sucked, if I’m being honest.

Yoga:
* focus on hips and quads – work in progress.
* medidate (at least try to meditate) – I’ve been reading The Upanishads for a 6 week yoga workshop. I hadn’t been exposed to this before, and the reading and reflection has been good.

House:
* organize the kitchen and pantry
* create a family command center on the blank wall in the kitchen Done!

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
