Notes:
- We did a movie trivia playlist in the Monday night class again. The winner got to select next week’s playlist. They choose 80s Hair Bands. I need to come up with some other ways to make class (more?! ha) fun!
- I wanted to run after work Tuesday but was exhausted so I took an hour nap instead and planned to skip it. When I woke up Steven said “Are you gonna run? It’s getting dark soon!” Him asking me made me go out. And it did get really dark, and there was lightening too, so it wasn’t the longest run but I was glad I went out. Thanks, Steven!
- Ha, that paragraph above shows my motivation for the week. Pair that with a slight cold (luckily it’s not horrible), a super sore right quad (it was still causing me to walk funny two days after strength class), and crappy weather (Sunday) and I took the weekend off running.
- Monthly recap! In October I ran 124.5 miles (21 runs), cycled 15 miles (1 ride inside), and swam 1,386 yards (2 swims). I did 0 speed sessions and 1 hill session. My coldest run was 28°F and my warmest was 82°F. I taught 9 strength classes, 1 fitness boxing classes, and did 3 one-on-one sessions. I did one race, the Gear Western Country Half Marathon. I expected to workout less this month, due to having every week fully booked. I’ll have more time in November!

Some weeks it just does not come together, but sometimes you body just needs a break.
That’s so true. I’m grateful I’m not training for anything right now!
Wow, that’s a crazy range of temperatures during the month! The movie trivia playlist in class sounds like a fun idea 🙂
It was! The really low one was from a run in MN I think, the weekend it snowed up there!
They like it! It’s fun to see if they get it right away or if I have to start giving clues.
