October was my big half marathon month. When I think back over the last 10 months I was really preparing to run a half marathon. It took me a few months to decide on which one I would do but once I committed and signed up, I was excited and then nervous!
Couldn’t pass this up!
October numbers:
Total Mileage: 85km
Total Runs: 10 Doesn’t really sound like much! Ran outside and on the treadmill.
Race: 2 Valley Harvest Half Marathon and BLT 5K Fun Run
Longest Run: 21.33 km
Running happy around km 17 of 21.1
Soccer Games: 2 (Let’s just call these speed work)
Yearly Total: 932 km
I’m pretty happy with the amount of running I did in October. Even with taking 6 days off after my half marathon, I still managed a good number. I’m almost at my yearly goal of 1000 km and starting to wonder what I should aim for next year. I honestly didn’t think I would hit 1000 km in a year …. two months to go!
