5K-a-Day Challenge Kerri's Day #6 Results

5K a Day Keeps Rejection Away? (Wishful Thinking)


We're over the half way hump in our 10 day challenge and today was Hump Day! How'd my lovelies do today? I want you to know that I really enjoy reading your updates every morning. Yesterday's results between my two vocal participants just goes to show what a difference a day makes. No matter what those results were--keep on trucking. The next day will be better. I'm proud of all of you.

That being said, here's my latest day of writing mania:

Day #6

8:18 a.m.
Getting to work is hard today. Find myself making excuses by looking through all the other work piling up on my desktop. Ugh. Must get to writing. Must get to writing.

8:50 a.m. Update
714 words for a first round of writing. Seemed like more. Slow going today. Need to light a fire under me today.

9:08 a.m. Update
Okay, now that time I moved it along. Coming in at 1421 words. Taking a short break to stretch my aching back now. Back soon.

11:43 a.m. Update
Delicious healthy salad consumed and one toddler down for a much needed nap. Up to 2420 words at mid day. Going to take a brief pause and judge a contest entry that I agreed to judge. Hope you all are having a great and very productive hump day. Can't wait to put a wrap on this long 10 day week of writing. I'm ready for a break.

12:30 p.m. Update
Don't know how much longer the baby will sleep and the 3 year old is getting restless so I decided to push ahead and write more while I can still focus. I'm at 3232 just after the lunch hour. Pretty good. I just re-calculated how far behind I am for my grand total goal of 50K in 10 days and I still need to write 2068 over my daily goal to get back on track. I didn't realize I was that far behind. Ouch! Better get moving.

1:29 p.m. Update
4015 is my newest total. Need refreshment and maybe a short reading break. Sometimes it is nice to stop and appreciate the work of others to encourage me to press onward and upward with the word count. Back soon for more fun with typing!

6:09 p.m. Update
5085 words is my end of day total today. After taking a little time off this afternoon to judge the remainder of the contest entries that I had on the back burner and to spend a little time with the kids, singing the "Groundhog" song (don't ask) and of course…changing more diapers. I did manage to finish up just now.

Tomorrow is another day. Hungry now.
