Whoops, I guess I missed a week? How did that happen?
1. Exercise: as of Saturday 3/18/17
Running: 300 miles: To date: 54.19 miles Whoo boy this went up a lot!
Biking: 500 miles: To date: 38.84 miles (this week we had a birthday and sleep issues)
Swimming: 50 miles: To date: 7.31 miles (very sad. Last week the pool was closed one day and the lifeguard didn't show one day. This week I made it once).
Walking: 150 miles: To date: 44.14 miles
Weights/ yoga: 30 minutes a week (1560 this year): 368 minutes

So, yesterday I ran a 10k race. I finished in 1:12:19, a 11:39 pace. Which is about 50 secs per mile faster than my training. And I am PAYING for it today (ow). I hit the carbs REALLY hard yesterday too. I was pretty tired.
This was 3 minutes faster than the 10k that I did in September. And it goes to show how they are all different. I really enjoyed the course...along the ocean for a lot of it, quite a bit of it in dirt. I run/ walk, so I played leap frog with 5 people for 4 miles until I could no longer leap them. The old guy? Turns out he's 73.
September was big, and I finished 47/87 in the 45-49 age group.
Yesterday was small, and I finished 10/10 in the same age group. My coach was 3rd.
2. Grocery bill: Keep it under $7000 ($134.62/wk): $96.77 & $83.69. My produce box was missing something this week too. Hopefully I'll get a credit. $1323.51 so far, or $120.32/ week. Not bad. Hm. I wonder if I'm missing some receipts.
3. Weight: I have no idea.
4. Family:
Go on 12 family hikes: fail. fail. fail.
Do game night once a week: More like daytime games on weekends.
I am enjoying the hikes with my friends on weekends with the run group, but have to get the kids out! There's water in the creek!
5. Crafts:
- Crochet a blanket - working on it. It's looking good!
- crochet a purse: nothing
- participate in my quilting group's exchange: I cut a bunch of blocks. We are all making 20 half square triangle blocks for each other.
- make 12 snowflakes: nothing
- attempt to make socks: I've pinned a bunch of instructions? Right now we are cleaning out closets - never did dig through stuff after Christmas. Donating stuff to the elementary school rummage sale. Not our school, but a different one.
6. Sleep: Um. So little guy had a cold. Monday night, he woke up crying every hour. So little sleep. Tuesday night I slept like the dead. Turns out it's because hubby slept with him. Weds night was worse than Monday, because he just wouldn't let me leave his room. I was awake for hours. Friday night I couldn't sleep because of race nervousness and last night was awful because big kid had a sleepover. Please don't ask me how last week was - I don't remember!
7. Food: eat vegan 2 days a week. I'm not sure when or if I'm going to jump back on this train.
8. Cookbooks: Try 1 recipe from every cookbook I own. Ditto. See #7. I'm making a lot of things over and over again.
9. Work:
a. Skills: Learn enough programming to automate the data pulls for problem lots (which requires pulling data from 2 different databases). Haven't worked on this yet. REALLY need to.
b. Personal: Don't engage. Really.
10. Home: Contact contractor/ architect on adding a second bathroom.Nothing. But we did talk to the plumber about (finally) replacing the sewer line. Nothing like $8k bill! Haven't gotten the written estimate.

Honda is going to be fine, still driving the rental. It's an SUV and pretty sweet, but kinda big.
11. Garden: actually plant tomatoes this year. Baby steps. Nothing
Ooh, need to add: put some ground cover in the back dirt patch. Now we are discussing hiring a landscaper to do the work. Friend in the neighborhood.
12. Spouse: once a month lunch date. We went to the school fundraiser last weekend and had a great time. Wasn't much of a date - we tend to socialize with others!
13. Beverages:
- Drink less coffee and more tea (one cup coffee per day): Uh, lots of coffee this week.
- Do not buy any wine aside from my two wine club memberships. I don't even drink that much anymore, but I did open a bottle Friday night. Bought two bottles at the school fundraiser.

I start with 2 cups of green tea in the am and then move on to coffee. I save the best for last.
