The Worst October Ever


And all 10 miles were done while injured!!! All 3 runs were painful. 2 were even 5k races.

thinking my injury was not serious

5k finisher with a stress fracture

By being injured the WHOLE month I did not achieve any of my goals:

  • Higher weekly and monthly mileage totals (that means long runs on the weekend) – NO!
  • Run at a more consistant & faster pace – NO!
  • Start yoga – NO!
  • Join a gym and work out – NO!
  • Lose weight – I doubt it!
  • Eat healthy – Not really!


Though I had 4 or 5 races on my schedule for November, I will run NONE of them. I may (if I am not too depressed) volunteer at a few of them.

My goals for November:

  • Stay positive
  • Follow the doctor’s orders and heal quickly
  • Eat healthy

Happy Running!  What are your running plans for November?

  1. Your November goals are perfect. This will all be over before you know it…but I understand how frustrating and depressing not getting to run is. Hang in there!

  2. I’m running another 5K this weekend – for autism awareness. Then, we may do one on Thanksgiving. That is, my husband will run it. and I’ll do the fun run with the kids. Those are the only running plans we have.

    I hope you are up and running again before you know it! Spend Thanksgiving being thankfull the injury isn’t worse. 🙂

    Take care!
