Day Five! Final Marathon Day! 8000 words, 5000 steps. I didn’t sleep last night. The chart that my Fitbit produces was just ugly, filled with red lines of all the time I was awake. I honestly think it was just because I was so warm all night. So this morning, I made the decision early […]
It’s Day Four of the Writing Marathon! 10,000 more words written, 10,000 more steps taken! As I suspected would be the case, today was mostly easier than yesterday.

I’m doing what I’m calling a half-marathon this week. Instead of a full-on writing marathon, where I do 10K words as well as 10K steps per day, I’m doing half that. 5K words and 5K steps. I’d originally planned on doing 5K words and 10K steps. However, this morning my knee let me know that
