October Wrap Up

This month I finally feel like I'm back into some kind of exercise routine.  I'm not running that many miles, but that will come in time.  I am fairly consistently spending at least an hour a day being active.  I missed 8 days in the month of October, and I think know I can do better in November. 

Time spent running:  5 hours 28 minutes

Time spent walking:   20 hours 21 minutes

Time spent yoga-ing:  1 hour 50 minutes

I'm a week away from finishing the Pooch to 5K plan with Cookie.  She has done really well with the plan and it has worked well for both of us.  It built really slowly, and I think that's why it works so well. It's also based on time, rather than distance, which I think is better to focus on when you're not going that far! In the past, I know I would have been eager to get into longer distances as quickly as possible, but I don't want to run too far, too soon with the Cookie Monster. Also, in the long term, I want to get faster before I tackle another marathon. Instead, in November, I just want to add a 4th day of running to our routine, and keep aiming for 60 minutes of exercise every day, but with no more than 30 minutes of running/day.  I like having some kind of plan to go from, so I'm working on putting something together, which might include some tempo runs toward the end of the month.

Can you believe this snow?
