Update

877/1000!

I can say that Oct was officially my weakest month of the year - a whopping 40 miles logged!  Nothing like falling off the wagon after our race.  I was plenty active (hauling Halloween stuff) but "official" miles were lean.

But on track!  This means an average of 2 m/day for the next two months.  I got this!  :)

Which means that you need to start pondering your 2013 challenge!  I kind of like this one, but it needs a new twist to keep me engaged, you know.  One event a month is an interesting one, just not sure our schedules permit.  Oh - is that the point - to make it a priority?  LOL

MWF looking for meaningful relationship.....

with Wagon!

I've been walking along side the wagon...occasionally going for a short ride -- then quickly hopping off for all the wrong reasons.  Slowly getting back to my routine.  Can't find all my favorite foods -- if you can believe it.  It is shocking how few light foods are here.  Lt bread is difficult to find.  I use to buy lt english muffins, bread and buns.  There is little to no options here.

We live about a half mile from a gourmet grocery store -- that is now our favorite place to go.  I think you can imagine the trouble that may be.

Wagon

Found the wagon today!  It's not quite moving, but I do know what direction it is headed!  :)

Wagon?

Wagon?  What wagon?  Forget what direction it is going, where is it!

I have big fat ZEROES on almost every day of my mile chart for Oct.  All I do (besides my usual life of kids, carpooling, and working) is Halloween Planning.  Put on a H"ween Party, and gain 5 lbs, b/c you have no time to shop or cook.  Lots of subs and eating out!

But the end is in sight - the party is this next weekend (and it is going to be awesome).  Then I can refocus.  I am fully concious that this is not the right answer - that "the program" needed to stay the priority.  But something had to give, and once again, that was it.  Time to ponder later.  And in the meantime try not to be too sloppy.

I have to get up at 3:30 am to head in to NY tmrw morning.  Why can't work ever be the thing to "give?"  LOL!!

Checking In

I'm trying to get back in the groove...so I'm using all my resources! I'm about 50/50 on my commitment level. But slowly am getting back to what I need to be doing.

Just for reference...I want to up date you on my progress. I have completed 861/1000 of my miles for the year! As long as I keep up some reasonable running miles I should have no problem hitting my goal. Also I was tracking my running miles separately on my half marathon training. I completed 260 miles in training. Probably short a few based on my slacking off at the end -- but a good guide for what is needed for prep! Kind of crazy when you think about it.....train 260 miles -- run 13.1! Who knew!

Found my soon to be WW meeting center this weekend! And found my most coveted food product in Houston...my Joseph Lavash Flatbread. Only place in the entire city that carries it is Walmart! Yuck -- but I'll go there for it -- it is a must have!

Jodie -- if you are out there....please come back and tell us how you ate doing!
