I'm headed to get 40 miles in this month, running 3 times a week. I took a couple of weeks off in Sept, and fell short of my goal of 35 miles only getting 23.98.

For October, if I run every day I have planned, I will make 70 miles. Realistically... my goal is 60 with a stretch of 70.
[Food question] We'll likely host the Thanksgiving meal for my parents and brothers but there's not usually too much extra food after the fact. Except pie. There's always too much leftover pie. None of the other holidays revolve around food in our family, though there will probably be lots of candy and cookies at work. If When I overindulge, I will just get back to tracking like I am now. I didn't track (or run much) during our vacation in August and am doing both again, as I know that's what I need to do to reach my goals.
[Age question] Eh. I've never really been too concerned about my age. Wait, that's not entirely true. My biological dad committed suicide the day after his 25th birthday so that age was significant, though not quite what you were asking. It felt very strange to consider that I lived longer than he did. Now my kids are both older than 25 and it's not so strange.
[Activity question] I think I would love to try skydiving but there's no way in hell I could do it. I'm absolutely petrified by heights. Not afraid. Petrified. This year on vacation we were snorkeling and I actually went under the water for the first time with the snorkel. I'm not sure why I wasn't willing to try before, but that was fun. If we lived near the ocean, my husband and I would both try scuba. His parents were certified years ago and I think it would be great. It just doesn't seem worthwhile to go through certification for something we'd do maybe every couple years or so.6 -

I'm in for 200 this month! Ended up only hitting 143 in September because I sprained my foot on a trail run half way through the month and had to take a week off. Fortunately it seems to be mostly healed up now, so I should still be able to do the 50K in November! Today's run was my first run back on the trail since I sprained it on 9/16 and everything felt pretty good! The uphills were a little tougher than I remembered though
10/01: 5.47 mile trail run
Total: 5.47 miles
Upcoming Races
11/09: Rosaryville 50K
12/01: Space Coast Half Marathon
12/15: Seneca Slopes XC - 9K10 -
Oooooh yes @7lenny7 yoga with adrienne is pretty good, on the rare occasions I can be bothered with yoga that's my go-to!1

The closest station to the Greenline is showing 95 with heat index 100 right now. First day of October. Fortunately it’s a lifting day for me, but tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same. It’s pretty ridiculous.1 -

If I was still running summer races, I would run in it for heat training, but my next race is in November, I hopefully will not need heat training.
Might run in the dark tonight. Not sure yet.2 -

I have thought of starting one at mine a few times but I really do not need another thing on my plate right now.3 -
Jumping in here! Goal is 100 this month! It's high 90's in Texas, still, which isn't unusual and I do most of my running in the mornings with a jogging stroller and my seventeen month old strapped inside. I'm running my first marathon in February. I started running 3 years ago. I run as much for stress relief and to maintain my sanity as well as for physical fitness and staying in shape. I go out one person and come back a calmer and happier one. I wish everyone luck and success this month! Happy October!
Side note: My weeks vary. Two weeks ago, I ran 29 miles and walked countless miles. Last week I ran 15. I think this group will be a great support/challenge for each other!16 -
I have recently started C25K. Today I completed W3R1.
My goal is to finish this month at W7R2.
I will update my progress on Mondays.14 -
