September was a pretty busy month even though it didn’t go as planned.

This is what I had hoped:

• Higher weekly and monthly mileage totals – not really but I had good intentions
• Lower my 5K time – actually I did but not by as much I would have liked
• Lower my 10K time – nope because I changed my mind & didn’t run the 10K
• Start yoga – nope here too
• Join a gym and work out – well, I didn’t really think this would happen

But let’s focus on the good things that happened in September.

• I ran in four races.

• I finished a 5K in less than 30 minutes.

• The weather cooperated and we had some more boating weekends.

• I started my weekly tennis contract and am enjoying it.
• I stayed in my friend’s house on Schroon River 2 more times (for running, mah jongg). Love it there!

• I got a surprise visit from my friend in Russia.

• I am enjoying the foliage in the Northeast.

• I rode my bike (1x)

• I used the treadmill once.
• I won a healthy receipe contest at work AND I won $25 gift card to Walmarts (from The Happy Runner).

For October, I am going to go out on a limb and try to:

• Higher weekly and monthly mileage totals (that means long runs on the weekend)
• Run at a more consistant & faster pace
• Start yoga
• Join a gym and work out
• Lose weight
• Eat healthy

Happy Running!  How was your September?  Anything different planned for October?
