Running: I ran 7.33 miles this week in 53:46 (7:21/mile). It wasn't hard because I only ran one day (Sunday). I decided to take it (very) easy this week because I was sick on Monday and Tuesday and wanted to make sure that I was feeling good enough before I started running again so that I didn't reset my recovery.
Writing: Didn't write another word. I should have written more, I just have some sort of block about writing more in the month of September. I am accepting failure on the 50,000 words in one month challenge, but I am going to keep the beginning of the story around in the hopes that I'll pick it up again and write some more. I don't think that it was a complete failure because I think that I learned a bit about writing and I'm impressed with the amount that I did write.
So what's next? I am going to break my 5k PR on November 19th. It will be very difficult. Everyone I've mentioned it to has said so. I ran my current personal best (16:23.79) on a track while I was in probably the best shape I've ever been in. I have sketched out an ambitious plan for the next 9-10 weeks and am determined to put the work in and take a shot at running under 16 minutes. Then, depending on the results, I'll be running either a 5k or 10k on Thanksgiving. And then? I don't know. I'll probably start trying to get into longer races. Until then, I'm taking things one step at a time (no pun intended). Only 491.3 miles until glory.
