October: 100 miles

Ran Wine and Dine, my first RD race in Orlando! If I met you, thanks for talking! It was cool to meet people IRL.

Tomorrow! Will be on the other side this time, hoping I don’t get the itch to do 9+1 again (impossible).

Looks like we have full confirmation that Coast to Coast is back for 2026 AND confirmation that Wine and Dine will be last full weekend in October (not Halloween weekend).

My most miles since March (214.32) as I continue my return from summer surgery and ramp up for Dopey. I'm nine weeks into my training plan and doing well. Still not quite feeling as good as I did before, but I'm getting there.

Marathon Weekend and Springtime Surprise are out for me due to watching our Grandkids on those dates but the wine and Dine I could do. Just need to convince DW

I did my first “long” run since my injury today. I did 7 miles. I was hoping for between 6-8 so I’m happy with that. Things were starting to yell at me at 5.5 so I walked from there. When I was intervaling, I maintained a 13:30ish pace and overall was 14:50. I’m in a MUCH better place mentally after this run. Is it where I want to be… no. But I have a plan to move forward and keep training. Fingers crossed my body gets the memo!

October Running
178.6 miles

Did the Wineglass Half Marathon at the beginning of the month. I'll echo @Dopey 2020 comments. Very nice race, well organized, good scenic course. I'd certainly recommend it for a fall race. One last race of the year on the docket for next weekend, Pittsburgh 10 Miler.

I actually was thinking of registering for that race next fall for my first half marathon ever. It looks like a good option for me.

Keep going like that and you'll get kicked off Team Not-So-Fast

Keep going like that and you'll get kicked off Team Not-So-Fast

I will always be not-so-fast when it comes to 26.2 miles.

Pro tip for people who run races with hydration vest:
If you're putting your name on your shirt, make sure it's not covered by your vest. Either put it below the vest or find a way to make sure the vest is not in the way.

(I saw several people today whose names were partially covered by their vests ... feels like that defeats the point of having your name on your shirt)

October Summary:
87.3 miles running - low due to taking 8 days off to combat my shin splints
Replacement cardio - too much
5k race pushing my toddler in her stroller - 22:18 and third place female overall woo!
Doing better with actually getting strength training in
