5K-a-Day Challenge Kerri's Day #3 Results

FIVE...err...FIFTY PERCENT anyway!

I'm really proud to see all the progress you ladies are making over the past few days. Don't worry if you're not making the 5K goal. Anything you can accomplish is that much closer to having a completed project. Thanks for coming back each day and sharing your totals with me.

Today, I only reached a little over 50% of my goal. I'm a little disappointed but at the same time I did a lot of things around the house including a big project I've been wanting to do for a long time. So, for that, I'm glad.

If you're just joining us...come on and get started with us. Set your own goal 1K, 2K, 3K or whatever. Just be sure you're WRITING!

Don't forget to come back and let us know how you're doing each day until July 31st and be eligible to win a prize from me. Click here for details.

Now, let's see how I did today:

Day #3

8:09 a.m.
Slow start today. Had a rough night with the baby. When baby doesn't sleep, Mommy doesn't sleep. Awoke this morning feeling "hangoverish" and not overly excited about facing the 5k challenge. But I started it and I want to finish it…by dog it. See how tired I am? Talking like a real Southerner now. Here we go…

8:31 a.m. Update
One jaunt that seemed to go on forever just now and I only made it to 570 words. Today is slow going.

9:48 a.m. Update
One load of dishes, two loads of laundry and blueberry muffins later…I'm back at it at 1186 words and counting.

10:04 a.m. Update
1477 is my new total after a quick jaunt and now I'm off to do some cleaning and fold the laundry. If I can make it to 2500 by lunch time it will be a miracle. Tired now.

3:08 p.m. Update
Well, here I am mid-afternoon and I haven't written another word. My cleaning project turned into a major room reorganization including me moving furniture and killing both my back and my toe (don't ask). Now, I'm logging back on to find my battery is dead. Let me charge up and write and I'll be back. What was I thinking getting into that huge cleaning project? I'm totally off track for making goal today. Oy!

5:28 p.m. Update
I'm at 2124 now and that was after the kids awoke from naps with all kinds of drama and family dropped by to visit. My body hurts. I'm not sure I can make my 5K today with the 4 hour delay from earlier but I've decided that if I can make it to the half way point at least that I'll make up the other words over the next 2 days. That's my plan anyway. Back for one more update before I sign off for today.

5:47 p.m. Update
I'm calling it quits for today at 2777. That seems like a good place to stop as I've reach my limitations for today. I'll just have to make it up over the next couple of days. Right now, I want to hang out with family and enjoy my clean and organized home—while it lasts. Hope you all did well.


Tomorrow is a new day...6K for me? We'll see.
