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.
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.
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!
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.

Turns out I forgot to turn my alarm volume up for bed.
Tomorrow is a new day!

Unfortunately, I’ll be doing 2 miles on the basement dreadmill after work tonight. But I’ll be watching saved episodes of Once Upon a Time, so it’ll be more interesting than staring at the wall would be.

I ran 3 yesterday and took a 75 minute Yoga Sculpt class at Core Power Yoga! I am using my free week and an unlimited month Groupon to help motivate me to get to my goal of working out 20 times this month!

I do all my working out in the evening, so I’ll be checking in in the morning (like this) with my plans, and tomorrow’s morning check in will have my plans plus what I actually did the night before.
Today is my 1+ day for OHP at the gym, then 3-5 miles afterward, depending on how I feel (probably more like 3 miles, but that’s okay).

I ran 3 easy treadmill miles this morning. I’m being smart this time, and not building my mileage up too quickly, after spending half of 2016 recovering from (read: trying to run on) stress fractures in both tibiae. My foam roller is my best friend.

I’m running 3 miles during my lunch today! It’s hard this time of year because it’s so dark out in the morning and it’s dark when I get home and so if I want to run outside I need to squeeze it in during my lunch hour! 🙂
