Holy moly it’s October! October is hands down my favorite month. The weather starts to cool off a teeny bit for us Floridians and Halloween everything comes out. I will try to cram in as much spooky scary creepy crawly action as possible…with a side of running of course. Wink.

| Rule #1: Cardio. |
Run 89 miles. Not as big as I’d like but I’m getting there.
Bike Nada
Swim 6 miles. Still ramping up and seeing improvement at Master’s Swim. (You still have time to donate to the Navy SEAL Foundation!)
Strength 4 sessions with Coach Jon & Coach Nick and The Tribe.
Races NOLA Blue Doo 2 miler and a 5K I’m going to forget happened.
Current Reads I finished The Silent Girls and bought another book, but I didn’t read much in September. I’ll have to catch up.
Current Obsession The new TV show Scream Queens. Oh and Veep. And Empire. Crap I’m watching a lot of TV!
 |
| Hail the OG Scream Queen! |
Current Song Eh…not much really thrilling me right now. Here’s hoping some new and better music comes out soon. It’s been all podcasts and classic hip hop….
 |
| I miss the classics. |
Current Need An extra week in October. Not only do I love October, but I happen to be slammed this month with baby showers, bridal showers, and not one, but TWO half marathons!
Current Triumph Getting to the pool several days this week!
 |
| Not this pool. |
Current Bain of My Existence Dry skin. Stupid chlorine. Any lotion I must try?
 |
| Buffalo Bill recommended. |
Current Goal Working on my mental game at the races I have planned this month. If one more person tells me that my issues are all mental I’m going to run away and cry and never come back. See what I did there? Seriously though, I am going to see what I can do about this whole being more confident in my athletic self thing.
Current Indulgence Nada. I’m trying to eat healthier and avoid all the damn candy.
Current Blessings A really kick ass and amazing boyfriend.
Current Excitement HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!
I love October! And fall is my favorite time of the year 🙂 try cocoa butter anything, it keeps you moisturized and ashy-free all day long. The only down fall is that it kinda smells like chocolate. But at least you'd be wearing it instead of eating it, right? 😉 healthy-eating-goals !
SO RELIEVED that October is finally here. The heat is breaking today in NC, even if it is coming from a hurricane. The kids are all excited about their costumes, and I'm excited about the fall marathons.
October is the best! It's the same here – Sept is super hot in San Diego so I'm looking forward to some relief (although we really can't even guarantee that).
Yay for October! Did I miss the memo on TWO half marathons? Come again? LOL
