October Comes to a Close.....


Wow! Where does the time go? 

Looking back on my favorite month of the year...


Miles planned/run: 50/27
Spent nearly two weeks sick again this month, so running was off, but enthusiasm is strong. Back on schedule this week... 5:00 a.m. ~ strong coffee, laced running shoes, lots o' self-talk!  :-)   


Running with buddies:
Met up with the Girls on the Run groups... getting ready for our Christmas 5K!

Met up with Tobi for a fun 3-miler through Celebration and then breakfast


Currently reading:  Ultramarathon Man (Dean Karnazes) Awesome! Can really relate to what "Karno" writes about. Will share a review soon... and a giveaway?? Stay tuned...   


Looking ahead....

Registered for: A1A Half Marathon. They offer discounted reg for military folks: sweet! (thank you)  Excited to do this race!

Planning: Founders' Day 10K with Tobi and friends


Other fun stuff:
Halloween Horror Nights... awesome! Express Pass = must-have!

De Leon Springs State Park and The Old Spanish Sugar Mill  ~ make your own pancakes at your table... fun!  This was a 'research field trip' for an upcoming race. 

Sunday Farmers' Market - great food. music. fresh veggies. crafts. today...COSTUMES!

Hosted a new writing workshop... fantastic feedback. excellent learning experience.  Looking forward to upcoming groups!


Hope yours was a good month!  

CONGRATS to all of our buddies who ran their races this weekend... will be reading your recaps this week. 






*hugs* from Orlando!
