It is hard to believe that we are already into the month of October. In fact, we are fast approaching the end of the month. The end of football season and the beginning of basketball season. Where did the Fall go?
I have been running on a regular basis. This past week, I decided to join on our gym at work. I figured it would help motivate me to lift weights because I am definitely not doing so with my home weight set. I also joined the gym so that as it gets colder out, I have a place to run inside. They have a track that is indoors, but it is only 1/8 of mile around. Yeah, so that is a lot of laps to make one mile. Still, better than running outside and I have treadmills if I need them.
My races are over for this year. I thought about possibly doing another 5K in November, but at this point I do not think I will be doing so. Some friends are going to be running in the Thanksgiving races, but I will be headed to Florida at that time or on a boat enjoying cold drinks. So, I do not think I will be running in any more races this year.
Next year I am looking forward to my first ever attempt at running a 10K. Right now, that first time appears that it will take place in Denver, Colorado. I am looking to sustain my 5K running through the winter months running at the gym or possibly outside if there are nice days. Then, starting in February or March, I plan to start training for the 10K. I have only run the mileage for what is a 10K once or twice while out running in my neighborhood.... never in a race. I am excited!
Happy running! Until next time!
