October Running Round-Up

This was a big month in running for me. I feel like my resolution to run 500 miles in 2012 culminated in my half marathon. My numbers tapered off this month since I took a whole week off post-race but I still hit my 50 miles. Check it out!

With the weather turning much colder outside, it's time to transition back to the treadmill. I love the treadmill but I was getting more used to running outside where I don't have anything pacing me. For these next cold months, I'm going to work on speed and hills. It's easy to get in a rut on the treadmill and I'd like to keep pushing myself as much as possible. Stay tuned!
