I LOVE Fall!  I know I have mentioned a few times that it is my favorite season.  The warm days are gone and it is beginning to feel like Fall in Chicago.  I love it!

It has been quite a year.  I’ve run 5 races but lately haven’t been running at all.  Things have settled down a little at work so now I can dedicate more time to running and walking.  I do miss it.

Here are my plans for Fall:

🌳 Start running again.  I have no races this year, yet, but am planning for next year, so I want to run for fun.  I am looking forward to the cooler weather and the different colors of the leaves.

🌳 Start walking again.  Same as above for running.  I began walking more when I wasn’t running.  And then I stopped doing that too.

🌳 Restart my Peloton membership.  I had forgotten that I paused my membership until I received an email about my payment.  I miss taking classes with Matty and Camila.

🌳 Run a 5k.  Definitely doable, right?  I’ve run a half marathon this year, 10 miler, 10k, an 8k, and a 4 miler.  Now I just need a 5k.  I need to check and see what’s taking place in the next couple of months.

🌳 Take better care of me.  I have been neglecting myself and I need to stop doing that.  I’ve been very busy with work these past couple of weeks, but now some things have settled in.  I have somewhat of a routine now which is making things a little easier for me.  The work is never-ending and I know I will never be caught up and that is OK.

Next week is a FREE topic.  Feel free to write about any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!

    It’s so easy to let work dominate your life. Once you start running again I bet you feel better mentally and physically.

    See you in Nov, right?

      That is the plan!

    I hope things ease up a bit, for you, now that you’ve had time to get adjusted to the new school year. You sound very eager to lace-up & get back into a fitness routine, so that’s half the battle 🙂

      I am going to run today. I went for a walk this weekend so now it is time for a run.

    Like you, I would love to start doing daily walks again. The weather was so humid this Summer which made it hard for me to get outdoors.

      How is it going? Has it cooled down yet?

    Heck, I feel like 5ks are the only races I have been finding that our local to me. I will also be running one in October and November. I hope you find one yourself and can start running again now that the weather is starting to cool off. What a nice change.

      This weather is lovely and just perfect for running. I haven’t had a chance to look but I know there is usually a 5k around Thanksgiving.
