Hello October!

Despite the hectic pace of September, I logged 70 miles – my highest monthly mileage so far!

And now it’s October – race month! I have been inspired by many of you training for your marathons, halfs, 10ks and 5ks. It’s helped me to stay focused and motivated for my first 10k race. Only 9 days till the Tufts 10k!

So my goals for October are simple:

  • Keep building the mileage.
  • Baby my tweeky knee — lots of ice!
  • Enjoy my race experience! Trust that I can do the distance, run my own race and take in the moment! If I can do that, it will be a great race (whatever the clock says will be secondary)!

So what are you planning for October?

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!

  1. way to go on the mileage! all the best with your race!

  2. Great mileage! Yay I love October! I’ll love it even more when a certain race on 10/10/10 is behind me.

  3. Great attitude!
    Good job on logging those September miles. Take care of that knee and I hope you’ll have many good runs in October.
    Let us know about your 10K race. I haven’t ran that distance for a race, but I think it will be a good race! 🙂 Good luck.

  4. Best of Luck ( well luck not needed, sounds like you’ve done the work) on your race… Rest the knee, in that case its better to undertain, then over train and cause more damage leading up to it..

  5. “Whatever the clock say will be secondary” is the best approach for a great race. October is the race month in Italy too. Good luck on the Tufts 10k.

  6. I agree with remembering to enjoy the race!!

  7. and thanks for posting the giveaway!
