Congrats on your mileage and on your 5k @skippygirlsmom. That's awesome to surprise yourself with such improvement.

Congrats on your AG place @marisap2010

Nice run @kgirlhart. It's great to have a beautiful day that makes you feel like running more. But you should taper

Well done @contrarymarymary even if not quite a HM.

Congratulations on huge mileage @johnisrunning!

@quilteryoyo, you did great to keep moving and get your walking in despite your back issues. You'll have a better November I'm sure.

Way to exceed your goal also @CarsonSurfs

Well done on your goal @scott6255 and thanks for setting up November

@teresa502 I love running on vacation too. Enjoy the beach! But yes, running on sand is tough.

@shanaber it probably makes some sense that your hamstring and hip pain would be related. Hope you can work it out without having to get a shot.

@orphia hope you vision issues get resolved

@Tramboman the saying is that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but I say close counts in mileage for the month. You were very consistent.

Good job everyone - sorry I missed some updates this weekend but great month and keep it up and see you in November.

I sputtered out a little bit this last week and things went a little haywire at work and personally, so ended up not doing a long run this weekend.

But still just made it over my goal for the month. Yay for finally getting to 100 miles for only the 4th time this year.

Got back to the trails today. 4 miles

Congratulations on your 5k @skippygirlsmom!
Congratulations @marisap2010 on your great race and age group place!
Thanks @katharmonic - I have some calcification in that hip and have been able to pretty much ignore it mostly when I am running. Not so much at other times when I move or twist a certain way.
Yesterday was the first time it was sore during a run and then when my hamstring started hurting it was like and AHA moment. I think prior to being out of our house I was doing a lot of leg swings and such throughout the day and side we have been working on this house I have not been. I am sure that it has made a difference. So yesterday, after my run I made sure to do more as well as adding in more during my pre-run warmup with my PT exercises. It seemed to make a world of difference because I had an awesome run.

That's it to close out the month. While I didn't make my goal I did complete my FitWitch Challenge early. Not sure how many are participating but I am in 20th position overall. Not sure I will get any running in over the next few days but we will for sure get in some hikes.

@rheddmobile Cool shot of the albino raccoon!

@marisap2010 Yay! Congrats on the age group podium!

Ran in costume yesterday, I was a dragon and my husband was Captain America. Only 5k because we had to get back for trick-or-treaters. Hardly any this year. We did pass a couple of large parties while running and got complimented.

That’s the month for me, a pretty poor month but I only skipped one planned run, the day after my booster. Onward to November!

ereck44

My goal for the month of October is 50 miles.
I was short by 20 miles.
10/3....3.09 miles
10/12...3.13 miles, combination of walking and running.
10/18...5.28 miles running with 0.59 miles walking cooldown.
10/22....3.04 miles run/walk
10/28....4.23 miles run with 0.67 walking cooldown.
10/30....4.51mile run with 0.5 mile cooldown.

Total is 30.12 miles for the month. I think I fell short this month due to working toward selling my house and the trip to Iowa. Oh well, good effort.

Congratulations to all who made their goals.
Congratulations to @skippygirlsmom and @marisap2010 for your respective races.
@AlphaHowls ...Super impressive amount of mileage for October!

@rheddmobile I love that you dressed up for your Halloween run. So fun. I think you did great only missing one planned run. How is your mom doing?

Saturday I ran a local 5K the Spooktacular 5K, I’ve run it a few times in the past but not lately. It was a lot of fun. I’ve been doing paces of between 13:00 and 14:00 in my daily runs, I was so excited to do a pace of 12:09 for this. I was actually shocked and crying at the end. My first mile was under 12 and I felt great the whole race. I finished 4th in my AG.

Way to go!
