Red cups are baaaack...

and me too! Since the Starbucks red cups are back, it means it's November! Not quite sure how October FLEW by, but the biggest highlight of the month:  Susan ROCKED the Chicago marathon!


Since she beat my marathon best time by an hour, I guess I'll let her still hang with this Ironman. :-). Seriously, I couldn't be happier for her. I was slightly more anxious about her race plan...ok, maybe a more accurate picture was I was the only one anxious and Susan was relaxed and ready to go. I really wanted her to have a great day for all the training that she had put in preparing for the race.  Her hard work paid off- she had an AWESOME day! 




She finished, had fun, and her time was within seconds of her goal. Congrats SusieQ!


I survived October "off-season" which probably now should be renamed "Slow-tober-fest".  For the past couple of weeks, I maintained running several times a week, jumped on the bike/trainer when I felt like it, and started to hit the pool again late in the month.  My only "scheduled" workouts were strength and core three times a week.  Not horribly bad, but starting my November workouts, it's funny how the Garmin numbers can take a tumble so quick.  I'm pretty confident that taking the month to mentally re-charge with the light workouts is going to have a big pay-off since I am really excited about getting back to training.


Three days into my 2012 plan...and I am really excited for 2012!
