So I got out of the habit of blogging -- shortly after I began. August was a good month for me, I ran strong and was very motivated to keep going.. then September hit.
For some reason I only seem to be able to maintain my energy for one month! Then I have a nice month of sitting on my butt and totally regressing in everything that I just worked for the prior month. So August = Running strong and September = Well not much of anything.
October was a GREAT month for me. I regained my enthusiasm and ran 57 miles the whole month. This puts October as the highest mileage month since I have begun running. For the month of November, I have vowed to not loose my momentum and to keep running! My goal is a 80 mile month, maintaining a 20 mile a week base. In December my goal is 100 miles month with 25 mile per week base.
In October I ran my first 5 mile race. I participated in the black cat run in Tacoma, Wa. It was a blast and I finished with flying colors which really boosted my confidence. I am taking a break from races for the month of November but in December I will be doing a jungle bell run 5K and my first 12K race. In January I have 2 5K races on the schedule.
I hope to finish out 2011 strong and have a twice as amazing running season in 2012. All starting with my resolution run on January first! :)
I will attempt to start diligently logging each run from this day forth. But no guarantees.
Night! -- Mo
