October 2015 Running Challenge

So I decided to rest today, combo of sore tooth, sore thighs and I need a long run tomorrow with the HM coming up in a few weeks. Plus well, the bed was feeling mighty good this morning. My poor Skip, it's the coaches job to let the front office know for the morning announcements of how clubs/teams did. She didn't even give them the meet info so they didn't announce her new school record. She said Mom I know it's bragging, but I wanted my name announced. I said it was on Facebook and twitter, she said can I post a pix of me running and say I broke the record on snap chat? I said sure if you are humble in your post.

@juliet3455 thank you on the kind words on Skip. She is really working hard this year, putting in extra miles, doing more speed work, core workouts. She has also decided she needs to do a field event to help with the chance of getting to run in college so she's going to try the triple jump in the Spring. I said you know you are 5' tall right? She said well it's that or the pole vault ha ha!!!! Coach said she's fast and is leggy so it's a good choice.

@Stoshew71 - Thanks for the links!

@tdbernrd - Admittedly I found the video hilarious, but I think running a marathon/half marathon - running general is something to be proud of! I'm running my first 5k on Sunday and you can bet I'll be giving myself props on Instagram.

I'm in for 150 although it seems I'm late to the party. :-)

Great updates, everyone..
@Stoshew71 , great vids..and the Batman slap..captures how I feel when I talk about my knees to some people

Good luck to everyone running this weekend! Looks like rain here.. Hope it holds off until after the race!

Super resistant to going out today, a bit moody and cranky. Had a nice run. At one point looked up and saw a large hawk turned golden by the setting sun above, wings spread wide. Still feeling moody but less cranky.

Ticker is my goal for 2015 and accumulation to date:

Good luck and have fun to everyone racing this weekend. I'm headed on a trip for a 5 day class next week, so I leave tomorrow on the plane and get back the 31st. I should have internet in the hotel so hopefully I stay up to date on everyone.

Not sure how much running I'll get in because I don't know the hours for the class and it'll be in an area I'm not familiar with which can make me nervous. But even if I'm not here much next week I'll be back in time for the beginning of the Nov thread
