September Recap

September is over. Seriously, how is this possible?

It wasn't a great month, but really not terrible either. Swung into the first whole month of Wine and Dine training, and definitely felt the high points and hit a few lows with the mental running game. Sometimes it's just not fair! Man. But I also do believe, as I said this morning, is that you need to have bad days and bad runs sometimes -- it proves that running is all mental and that you are usually more capable than you think!

May was this:

·    Total Mileage: 69.92 miles

·    # Runs: 17 (56.14 miles)
 ·   # Cycles: 2 (13.78 miles)
 

·    Favorite Run: Do you really need to ask? Ragnar DC, obviously! If you didn't know that, you haven't been pay attention!

·             -  Races:

o    Running Nerds ATL 20K Relay - September 1

o    Ragnar DC - September 21-22

Other excitement and challenges included these:

• Joining the #sweatpink community! I am so excited about this and excited to spread the pink & fitness love! 

• Spent the weekend after Labor Day in LA for my cousin's bridal shower. Her wedding is the first weekend in November in Austin. It's crazy that it's almost here, given they've been engaged 15 months already! Excitement!
• I had a week of winning aweosomeness -- I won five sparkly bands from Sparkly Soul (my fave headbands ever), then won a free pizza for lunch from CrowdRise via Twitter, and then won a free race entry from The Running Teacher. Can you say awesome?

On the agenda for October? A lot!

• October 6: Roadrunner 5K (this was my first race in Georgia last year and although it's the day before my half, I want to run it again and see how much better I am since last year!)
• October 7: Allstate Atlanta 13.1 Half Marathon (again, many thanks to The Running Teach!)
• October 14: Cupcake Classic 5K (free virtual 5K! What's better?)
• October 21: Athens Half Marathon
• And for the first time in a while... I am not flying anywhere this month! (Sad, but excited)

Happy October! Happy birthday to me!
