I am almost packed up and ready to hit the road for the New York City Marathon!
But first I want to recap my October highlights
Favorite Run:
Marine Corps Marathon – I went to this race solo and everyone was so gracious and supportive – it was the best.
Eat:
Honorable Mention is my BEST Drink for Runners
post I’d like to Repeat:
This is a hard one!
My “Why do bloggers do sponsored posts” was a hot topic.
But 11 Reasons why Running a Marathon is Like an Epic Night Out wins because it’s more fun 
Also – BAD NEWS!!! I heard that the Sriracha factory is shutting down because people are complaining about the smell. Luckily, Sriracha is made in SoCal and I will personally go and run the plant so we do not face a shortage! Anyone want to lend me a hand?
Halloween
I’m not dressing up for Halloween because I’m traveling tonight. I won’t be completely without dress-up time though – I still have to make my TOP SECRET 
Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Costume.
And that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a little candy! I stopped by See’s Candy at the mall yesterday and got my favorite Dark Chocolate Nougat one. AMAZING.
Question: What was the BEST thing you did or ate this month?
I ran my very first marathon in October! The Chicago Marathon was so much fun!
Best thing I did was run the Chicago Marathon! I had an absolute blast!
The Iowa State University agriculture students hosted a Bacon Expo a few weeks ago. We tried so, so many bacon dishes. But my favorite was the bacon snickerdoodles. I would never have thought that combo would work, but it was so good! Good luck in NYC!
The best thing that I ate in October was the pumpkin pie bagel that is finally back at Panera!! My absolute favorite fall treat!
the best thing i ate was siggi’s pumpkin spice yogurt in celebration of october and all things pumpkin 🙂 the best thing i did was start my new job!
i’m in pasadena, so i’ll gladly help you run the sriracha plant 😉
good luck running the NYCM!!
Good luck and be careful in NYC. And if you go in a cab, brace yourself and wear your seatbelt!!!!
You have me very concerned. Does that mean we will no longer get sriracha?!
Best thing I ate: special fried rice from my favorite Chinese restaurant. Im in my first trimester and along with rainbow sorbet it was the only thing that sounded good for two days, lol.
Best thing I’ve done is sleep, whenever I do sleep. I love sleep.
I’m running Wine and Dine as well!
It’s a toss up between the Marine Corps Marathon and the burger, fries, onion rings, and milkshake I consumed after the marathon.
best food- sweet potato cake! best thing- trip to Florida and relaxing at the beach!
I went to Hawaii to visit family and watch/enjoy the Kona Ironman World Championships. Going ever year from now on…and one day I’ll qualify to participate!!!!
Best thing I did would have to be MCM!
The best thing I did was have a week off for my birthday. It was fabulous and sunny and I hadn’t lots of fun with friends and family. Seems so long ago now! Best eat was locally made dark chocolate infused with coconut.
Happy Halloween and have a safe trio Monica
That’s hilarious about the sriracha factory!
Im running the Disney wine and dine half too! It will actually be my first half marathon ever!! Hope to see you there ! Good luck!
Good luck on your first half! See you there 🙂
The best thing I did this month was a trail race in the rocky mountains…. and I’m also leaving tonight for New York…..so the New York Marathon will definitely be the highlight of my November. I’ll stop and introduce myself if I see you around!
Best thing I did this month was run the Portland Marathon.
BEST thing I did was to start running again…taking it easy with the hip but so far so good!! Have a great weekend….love the recaps!! (And the “heading there” and the expo…geesh, its all good! ha!)
The best thing I did was tell everyone that I was finally pregnant. Mostly because I was afraid people were looking at my thickening mid-section starting to think I was pre-gaming for the holiday season… 😉 Good luck this weekend!
I’m just pre-gaming…
Scotch Mallows all the way
Best thing I ate this month… hmm, such a hard one! I had butternut squash hummus at my favorite restaurant at school and can’t get it out of my head. Favorite thing I did – probably go to Columbus and run a half with my friend Angela!
I’m partial to the Dark Chocolate Chip truffles at See’s
Best thing I ate: PB&J Oatmeal with coffee and a piece of crispy bacon to welcome east coast fall/winter: dark, cold and wet 🙁
Best thing I did: signed up for the 2014 UA Baltimore running festival! My first full! EEKK!
Best thing I did was run 5 miles, which is my longest run since I started a training plan.
Best thing I did was watching my husband run Chicago Marathon and Marine Corps Marathon and I got to start cross training!
I can’t wait to run again!
I love easy pumpkin muffins made with carrot cake mix, can of pumpkin, and mini chocolate chips! So good and easy.
The best eat … hmm … maybe the cornbread today at lunch with a sugar glaze?
The best thing I ate this month would have to be hands down Pumpkin Pie and Cake Batter Froyo mixed together! 😀
Good luck this weekend at NYCM!
That sounds amazing!
Every cookie I ate this month was good! 🙂
The Sriracha factory is shutting down – NOPE! Overturned by a judge! 🙂 We are all safe!
Yes! I was just coming in to say this. I had to laugh, because the story I heard this morning referred to sriracha as “hipster ketchup.”
It’s been a great month! My favourite run was the Zombie Night Run. Favourite eat was chilli nachos. Roll on November!
