Beyond the Miles: I started October off with the race I trained for all summer (read my full race review here!) and that night I got to see my favorite band Weezer, which was a great way to celebrate my run! Then I quickly had to shift priorities to other aspects of life. I had my son’s orthodontist consult, my daughter’s wisdom teeth extraction, sports practices and games, all the usual mom taxiing, and some extremely tough weeks at work combined with homework from my extra grad school class. Oh, and all things Halloween! I wrapped up the month having a small medical procedure that is keeping me from running for a few weeks. So I did what every overworked exhausted runner mom does when things feel overwhelming…I planned my next 4 races and built a training plan for the next 6 months! That’s normal right? Anyways, I can’t wait to get started on training again – just a couple of more weeks and I’ll be back on my feet!
