I did not get my 5k run in today, I started to beat myself up about it for a few minutes and then realized, I can get it done when I get back, it's not the end of the world. I have it as a "to do" the week I'm back. I am curious to see what the result will be, I definitely feel like I will drop my time a bit, I'm not expecting a 10min mile yet, but I should see an improvement from my 39:38 time. I've also signed up for 3 - yes 3 - upcoming 5k races. The first one is Oct. 17th, Harvest run in Lake Forest, then the Hot Chocolate run on Nov 6 and the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. I think having all of these coming up just about 2 weeks apart will keep me on task of running, intervals and drills.
I am SO excited. I found out this morning that CFC is doing a Team Paleo Challenge from Oct 9 - Nov 23. It's a 45-day nutrition/weight-loss challenge. (focus on the Paleo diet) You are placed in teams of 3 and evaluated on percentage of weight lost. Perfect way to get ready for the holiday season and extra motivation to be doing it in a group, knowing your total score counts
This mornings post had a great quote and a perfect reminder of accountability:
"Just remember, you are choosing everything you put into your body.
Have a reason for everything you do, and you WILL be successful."
