Pile on the Miles Day 1

Running

FacebookTweetPin
1 Nov

Hello! Happy November 1st! Are you ready to rock this running challenge? Pile on the Miles starts TODAY. Let’s do this!

Yesterday Vegas and I put on our very elaborate Halloween costumes to give away candy.

cat sombrero

This was my costume this year…

I had a ‘real’ costume but wasn’t super motivated to get dressed up in anything that took effort. So, I found these ears in my ‘random box’ in my closet (it has wrapping paper, craft stuff and Santa hats – it is really random). Boom. Costume done and done.

running challenge day 1 3 (480x640)

My favorite part of the night was when a teen trick-or-treater asked, “Are you Karen from Mean Girls?”

“Duh” I said and pointed to my ears.

Her friend told me to wear pink on Wednesday. Ha!

im a mouse

I think giving away candy is just as fun as trick-or-treating when I was a kid. Anyone else love it?

Right now I’m sipping iced coffee and eating cereal while writing this post. I am going to try and get the POTM posts done the day before so my friends on the other side of the world can check in a little earlier. I am on Pacific time and I know that’s kinda late to the party. But it’s only 5am here – so that’s super early too! Time is confusing.

    Today was to be a gym/treadmill day before work. I have three alarms set each weekday morning. (One to wake me up. One to get me out of bed. And one to remind my daughter to head out for the bus,) I slept through all three today. Ugh! I didn’t wake up until my daughter sent me a text to say she was on the bus. Turns out I forgot to turn my alarm volume up for bed.

    Tomorrow is a new day!

    Day 1 – I walk/jogged 1.66 miles! My knee is still injured from my first Marathon on Oct. 9th, so I’ve been struggling to stay motivated to workout without a race/training schedule. I know that I need to stay active, do my PT and strength exercises, but it’s been hard to be motivated since all my friends are running and I can’t. I’m looking forward to this challenge getting me back on track and hopefully running again!
