This week’s Tuesday Topic is a FREE topic.  Feel free to post any running-related blog post.  Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida!  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!  Remember to come back for later linkers!

Let me tell you how October went for me:

Mileage:  In October I ran 27.84 and walked 9.92 miles.  I have plans to run a couple of half marathons next year and I began following one of Hal Higdon’s half marathon plans.

Run the Year 2024:  I signed up to run and walk 2,024 miles this year.  So far I have completed 467 miles (per the RTE Tracker).  I know I will not reach this goal.  I am curious to see how many I actually do.

Current Book:  I finally finished reading “What Could Be Saved”.  Now I am reading “These Silent Woods”.  So far I am liking it.  It is my xx book this year.

Injuries:  I haven’t haven’t had too much issues with plantar fasciitis.  It could be because I am seeing a chiropractor to help me with my back.  Last week I mentioned my tight hips and they had me do a couple of stretching exercises to help with the tightness.  I know I should be doing these anyway.

Races:  None.

Health:  I am still dealing struggling with hot flashes.  The number on the scale isn’t going up so I am happy about it.  Now I just need to lose the weight!

School:  It is the same song here.  I have OK days, bad days, and awful days.  Next week is parent/teacher conferences and I am not looking forward to it.  It is a LONG day for me.  I have to say the same thing to the parents of half of my students – “Your child cannot read or write”.

A parent went to administration to complain about me.  I am annoyed that she went straight to administration without talking about it first with me.  I have talked to this parent before so she could have come to me.

What I am looking forward to next month:  My birthday and Thanksgiving Break.  My sister will be in town for a cotillion and I am excited about it.

The topic for next week:  What are you grateful for this year.  Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
