October was filled with running, soccer, yoga and barre for me. Then swimming lessons and gymnastics class for the girls, which they love!. Time with family, working a lot, traveling for work more and of course Halloween!
Running Mileage
For just coming off an injury/getting it diagnosed, I’m happy that I was just able to be running again. I played 2 soccer games, went to 2 yoga classes and 2 barre classes. It wasn’t a very motivating month trying to get back into running/working out but I’m feeling like I’m doing better.
Plans for November:
I want to run more consistently which means getting back on the treadmill when my husband’s working and potentially getting back into running at lunches. I do miss my “runches”. Treadmill running isn’t all that bad as I can catch up on some shows I’ve missed throughout the week. Who am I kidding, I love the fact that I have a treadmill at home and can run when I can’t get outside.
Soccer has been a lot of fun too. When I get on the field my mind is completely lost in the moment which I was missing with running and yoga lately. Honestly, I can’t get my head wrapped around the fact that it’s November! NOVEMBER folks!!!!!!!
Halloween:
Birthday cake, birthday present and a party-goer (not in the photo). The girls loved Halloween and I’m now officially sick of chocolates, candies and chips. Okay, I’m not sick of starburst but everything else I am.

Pumpkin People
Each year we check out the pumpkin people in the valley but happened to leave it to the last weekend this year. Obviously, we had to stop at this one so the girls could be just like their father.
And then even more like their father – British 🙂 Funny enough, he was working that day so they pretended to be at work with him.
Do you have anything planned this month?
Are you starting to think about the holidays yet? (I’m trying not to for at least another week or so).
Runners – are you in off season mode now?
Piper's Run 
It is definitely weird to think that it’s already November! Nice job with your workouts – I wish I had a treadmill at home, I’ve been starting to wonder if I should look into that investment in the near future!
Love your kids’ costumes, so cute!
Each month just goes faster and faster! I LOVE my treadmill and it’s allowed me to run on days when it’s completely impossible! Such a good investment!
Aww! It looked like a great month. Love their Halloween costumes!! Such a creative and cute idea.
It was a pretty good month! The costumes were a lot of fun!
The weather is cooling off in Florida so this is RUN season for me and it feels great! Waiting for the temps to drop even more! We are traveling for Thanksgiving but that is as far as I have gotten in planning 🙂 enjoy those treadmill miles!
I bet the temps feel great!
I won’t say that I LOVE having a treadmill but it is nice for those times when I can’t get outside. Like maybe 4-5x/year….
There were many nights my husband was away for work (weeks) and it was literally the only way I could run when my kids were asleep at night. If I didn’t have one, those runs and my 3 PB’s wouldn’t have happened.
October is my craziest month, so I feel like I actually have time to breathe in November. Your girls are too cute!
Glad it’s November for you then! Hope it’s not as crazy anymore!
October really was crazy, but I think November is going to be even crazier for me. I have the NYC Marathon tomorrow (EEK!) then a big move to Austin and job hunting! Not to mention the start of the holiday season!
How was NYC Marathon? Congrats on your PB!!! Good luck with your job hunting!
Ahhhh where has the year went, my plans are to rest and then start 1/2 marathon training the third week!
What race are you training for?
Hurray for having a treadmill at home when the weather gets snowy and cold and icy! Hope you have a terrific November.
You know what Elle, I’m so thankful I have a treadmill to run on…I can’t even complain about it! Hope your November is great on the West Coast 🙂
I’m so glad it’s November. I love your Fall pics!!! I’ve been in off season all year haha. Just getting back to it these last few weeks!
