"Let's Get It Started" October Run Challenge (Page 26)

Owie, Donto!  Having a resting pulse of 44 (taken through toe) is pretty low after sustaining an injury!  Just think of what it is when all your body parts are healthy!  Heal up quickly.

I'm doing a time trial tomorrow.  It's 11.6 miles and fairly flat.  The weather is looking good, albeit, a bit chilly for the race.  I'm going to try my hardest to get the women's course record.  I need to shave 40 seconds off my current best time on the course to get it.  This is gonna hurt!  Wish me luck and send lots of fast vibes!

Good Luck and I am sending all my fast vibes, sure you can't see them because they are going too fast! You are going to kill it!!!

Sending good vibes and a tailwind your way !!

About 3 more days!

Argh!!!!  My time trial bike has a broken seat post clamp.  (I've been having trouble with it but discovered a crack today.)  It's at the shop and the part is on order.  I will be riding my road bike on the hilly course.  The hilly course has a super, wicked horrible hill.  Not many women do this course.  I think I have a chance at getting my age group record but no way in h3ll will I get the women's course record.  Boo hoo.  I'll have to wait until March to try the flat course on my time trial bike.  Sigh.  I hope you all still wish me luck.

25th session done, 2 to go...tomorrow could be challenging since we are expecting 6-9" of snow, BRING IT!

Broke my goal this morning with a 17 mile run. Still have a run on the schedule for Monday.

Did 14k this morning and somehow pulled my upper right bum where it meets my back...by the time I finished enjoying my running club pot luck breakfast and drove the 20 minutes home I was limping in pain. This is my first actual running injury so I have no idea if it is bad or not but I plan to be generous with the ibuprofen and ice packs today and hope, hope, hope I can do my last 2.6K to finish out my 200k goal!!

Got my age group record on the hilly time trial.  Ouch!

Well gang... I'm not sure I will make my goal or not.  However, even if I don't get to run again this month I've still managed to log the most miles ever in one month and increased my mileage by almost 70% from September. 
As well... I'm fairly uninjured (well no more than what I started the month at )

I ran my 1/2 Mary today in costume  and sans inhaler (forgot it at home) and still PR'd by 12 minutes.  Okay, it was downhill and yes, now I'm having issues breathing and coughing up huge lugies   Not to mention my torso hurts front and back.

Oh well... perhaps I'll go for a walk tomorrow to try and keep moving.

Thanks guys!  I've never ridden that hill!  Holy crap!  It begins with a pitch around 18-20% and then continues for 1.5 miles at about 12%!  That was the first hill!  Thank goodness it was the worst one.  The road surface was horrible, too.  Lots of potholes, no lines on the road and super narrow.  I was weaving all over that road.  My poor husband got a flat on the hill.  He turned around and went back because the tube was busting through the sidewall.  Poor guy.  I'm happy with my time but bummed that I didn't get to do the course for which I was trained.  Maybe I'll actually train for this route next year.  I need to get a lot better at descending in order to get the women's record on this course.  It's totally sketch!  I have a kid!  I can't afford to crash!  Cheers everyone!

Two more days!!
