End of Month

Wow, this was a fast month and full of so many changes!

I am no longer looking for a new job, but instead working hard at understanding the new position I have within my company. It has been a challenge, but one I have stepped up to and so far, one I think I am excelling at. Lots more to learn, but I think I will continue to succeed in this new role.

And I ran SO much better this month too! I did 5 miles twice, and finish a 5K for the first time running the entire race! Super proud of that, especially for how difficult that course was.

I have continued to really step out with new friends. I'm happy with that. I really consider some of my meetup buddies friends now. I'm happy with that. And I can see those friendships continueing.

I realized I am a lot stronger than I realized. I can do things I didn't think I could and I can push myself past points I realized.

I didn't do yoga at home every week, but that's ok. What I did was good. And I didn't go to a service yet. I will at some point though.

See, this is what I mean by not having a 5 year plan. I had a month plan and that changed by circumstances out of my control. How can I look ahead for 5 years?

So for November? What goals do I want to set for myself?

Continue my 10K training and run 5 miles straight at least 3 times this month. Also, on Thanksgiving, run the entire 5K without stopping. AND... and this is most important, get in 3 runs each and every week!

Besides running, do at least 2 other fitness things each week. Swimming starts this Thursday so that's one, and yoga can be another on the weeks I have it. Also, I want to start doing some sort of weight training at least once a week, even squats and lungs! I need to build up muscle!

Hmm... what else do I want to set for goals for November?

I know! I want a social night out with new friends from the south shore. :) I want to keep doing things to maintain my new, happy, healthy and positive friendships! :)

Happy Halloween and here's to a GREAT November!
