October Running Challenge

fabnine

This one of those days that reminds me why I love to run. Because of the weather my friends all bail, so I go out alone. The rain from this morning has mostly stopped, but it's damp, chilly and windy. I leave the road in favor of a hilly trail, but the rain left the trail a mucky mess. So I'm splashin' & slippin' and thinking I must be crazy for being out here risking an injury. I'm not the most coordinated gal. Then I realize I'm havin' a blast. So what if I'm muddy, and my ponytail looks (&feels) like a drowned rat. No one raced me to the top of the hill, no one pushed me to finish strong, no one challenged me to go faster by teasing me about being old & slow. I just ran 7.2 miles in 72 minutes. I ran because I love to run.

You are sooooo one of my faves here.... :-))
(Although if YOU are old and slow, I'm totally screwed...)

I have been walking/running for a while now but could use some incentive with it as I would like to join some upcoming 5k runs.

I tried my ticker and we'll see if it works. Just shooting for 30 miles since I'm not sure how far I usually go in a month. If I need to, I'll change it to more after I check.

Might as well get started on the first!

10/1: 6.10 miles

Saw your ticker didn't post. I had trouble with mine when I followed the instructions so I messed around with the other options. I got mine to work by using the middle address of the box above the one we were suppose to use. Hope this makes sense.

Love it!! Sounds like a great run to me. My daughter runs XC with her high school and her favorite meet is the mud run through the muddy creeks.

davetheperson

I am going for 86 Miles this month, which means I need to do all of my scheduled runs this month (or make up the mileage, if I don't).

10/1/2014 Distance: 4.26 Miles Time: 00:43:29

I need to start Couch to 5K again. Hopefully this will make it stick. I need some accountability as I'm coming off a foot injury and just able to start again. I'm shooting for 30 miles in October.

10/1: Distance - 1 mile; Time - 12:00
10/2: Distance - 1.75 miles; Time - 21:00
Total: 2.75
My goal was originally 30, and I guess I will keep it as that, but I signed up for a 5K near the end of the month to make sure I'm holding myself accountable for running almost everyday. I think I'll end up quite a bit over my original goal, but that's alright.
